Teaching school hubs: Is your school on the list?
A £65 million funding boost, announced today, means every school in England will have access to a teaching school hub for the first time from September.
The cash will pay for 81 new hubs with their own “defined geographical patch”, serving an average of roughly 250 schools each, the Department for Education (DfE) said.
This is in addition to the six “test and learn” hubs appointed by the DfE in January.
Investment: DfE pledges £65m for 81 new teaching school hubs

Exclusive: DfE plans school improvement hubs with 300 schools
The 81 new hubs will be run by 77 schools. In the majority of cases, there will be one school to each hub, however a handful of schools have been given responsibility for multiple areas.
The teaching school hub programme forms part of the implementation of the DfE’s recruitment and retention strategy, designed to “raise teacher quality and effectiveness”.
The hubs are intended to “provide high-quality professional development to teachers at all stages of their careers”, the department said.
So, which school will be the hub in your area?
