Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to inform you that the application window for the October 2022 cohorts of our National Professional Qualifications (NPQ) is now open. Below, I've provided links to information about each NPQ, including the new NPQs for early Years Leadership and Leading literacy. Scholarship funding continues and this has been extended to more organisations; our web pages provide you with all the necessary information.

We have also launched our Annual Survey to gather your feedback on the work of the teaching school hub. This information will be shared with the DfE and used to inform our Continuous Improvement Plan. We would encourage every school to complete this short 7-minute survey - ideally undertaken by the headteacher in consultation with their team (Induction Tutor, Mentors, ECTs, NPQ participants, Instructional Coaching participants, etc). Ideally, we would appreciate schools completing the survey by 1st July 2022.

Thank you. We look forward to supporting you to grow, recruit, develop and retain the very best teachers and leaders.

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 Exceed 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.
