Dear Colleagues,

We hope you are well as SATs are underway and the Exam season is upon us. Please take time during this busy period to familiarise yourself with recent Hub updates.

Appropriate Body for ECTs

In light of new and updated guidance around Induction for Early Career Teachers, Hubs will be acting as the sole provider of this service. We are currently working closely with Bradford LA regarding transitional arrangements for schools and will be hosting an event for all leaders regarding any changes.

Registering your Early Career Teacher

To ensure a smoother experience in registering Early Career Teachers, changes have been made to the DfE portal, which is now undergoing a pilot review. We have been informed that the portal will be live to register ECTs in early July. To find out more sign up to our TDN event.

Teacher Development Network (TDN):

To support school leaders around any statutory changes for ECT Induction and how to register ECTs on the DfE Portal we are hosting a Teacher Development Network meeting on Tuesday 13^th of June 2-3pm.

We're excited to let you know our next cohort of the new National Professional Qualifications will start this Autumn 2023.

The NPQ courses are fully funded by the DfE, meaning there’s no cost to you or your school! Classroom teachers through to leaders of multiple schools can build their skills and knowledge on courses designed to fit around their busy schedule.

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.
