- 87 hubs across England will provide high-quality professional development to teachers and leaders – the 81 announced this week will join the six selected last year
- The North West will have 9 in total, including Eden Boys’ School in Bolton North East
Eden Boys’ School in Bolton North East is to benefit after news that every school in the country is to get greater access to expert teacher training and development, under plans announced by the Department for Education.
The teaching workforce will receive best-practice and expert advice on how best to engage with pupils, lesson planning, and classroom management, as part of new teaching school hubs being rolled out across the country.
Commenting, Mark Logan MP said:
“It is excellent that Eden Boys’ School will benefit from a new Teaching School Hub.
This will further support teachers, who are already doing an excellent job for their pupils, by giving them access to the best possible training and development opportunities run by expert practitioners.”
81 hubs will be added in all corners of England to provide high-quality professional development to teachers and leaders at all stages of their career and play a key role in helping to build up trainee teachers as they enter the workforce. This will further level up the quality of teaching, allowing every child to receive a world-class start in life no matter where they are born.
Each hub, all of which will be operational and helping schools from this September, will have its own defined geographical patch and will be expected to be accessible to all schools within that area, serving on average around 250 schools each.
The programme is being rolled out as teachers continue to deliver high quality remote education for pupils, with the current attendance restrictions in schools and colleges remaining in place until 8 March at the earliest.
