Dear Colleagues, 

A big thank you to all schools and staff that have worked with Exceed Teaching School Hub this academic year. It has been another busy, yet productive year, seeing a positive growth in the number of schools we collaboratively work and engage with.

It has been wonderful to see our first cohort of Early Career Teachers successfully complete Induction under the new ECF Reforms. A lot of hard work from Mentors and Induction Tutors has facilitated this, with schools positively endorsing new evidence-based approaches to ensure all Early Career Teachers have a great start to the profession.

We are proud to have provided 490 teachers and leaders with rich teacher development opportunities, through the delivery of NPQs this year. 100% of our participants rate their participant experience with us  as Excellent or Good.

Wishing you all a fabulous Summer, when it arrives, and we look forward to working with you all in September.

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.
