Dear Colleagues,

Welcome back, and happy new school year! We hope you had a restful summer and are fully recharged for the academic year ahead.

Early Career Teacher (ECT) Reminders:

If your school has appointed an Early Career Teacher, please ensure they and their mentors are signed up for the ECF-based training programme. You can easily do so here.

Additionally, all ECTs need to be registered with an Appropriate Body. If you haven't completed this step yet, please register here.

To ensure a smooth start for your Early Career Teachers, our ECT team is ready to support you. Feel free to reach out to us at ect@exceedsacademiestrust.co.uk.

NPQ Applications:

With smaller DfE NPQ allocations, most of our programmes are now full. However, limited places are still available for NPQH and NPQEYL. The application deadline is fast approaching on September 17th, so don't miss out! Learn more and apply here.

We look forward to supporting and working with all teachers and leaders this year, providing high-quality teacher development opportunities.

Warm wishes

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.
