Good morning!

Recruitment to the February cohorts of the National Professional Qualifications (NPQ) is now closed. Recruitment for September cohorts will commence later in the year.

The ITT market review, published in December 2021, sets out the government's ambition for all schools hosting ITT teachers to have at least one member of staff that has completed the NPQ for Leading Teacher Development, or another of the specialist NPQs or a similar programme in terms of quality, content and length. It is worth schools and trust considering their strategy for this whilst scholarship funding is available.

Don't forget, our briefing event with the Standards and Testing Agency is almost upon us. I've provided details below on how to book your place.

Best wishes

Paul

Exceed Teaching School Hub, led by Copthorne Primary School and Exceed Academies Trust, has a leading role in signposting and delivering teacher development support to all 215 Bradford schools and our partners in other regions wishing to access support from Bradford Teaching School Hub.

The Hub helps to fulfil one of Exceed Academies Trust's ethical goals: to contribute to system-wide improvements in education.

Designated by the Department for Education (DfE) in February 2020, Exceed Teaching School Hub’s core functions support schools and trusts to invest in their workforce to grow, recruit, develop and retain the very best teachers, support staff and leaders. We will achieve this through a place-based approach to signposting and delivering high-quality progressive teacher development programmes that complement the internal support provided by schools and trusts. Our vision acknowledges teacher and leadership development are two of the most important forms of school improvement. We will achieve this by enhancing partnership working with schools, trusts and high-quality providers; improving the communication of opportunities with the workforce; introducing new professional learning opportunities; supporting teachers and leaders to make informed choices when selecting continuous professional development (CPD) and support, and ensuring that no school is left behind.
