DfE Teaching School Hubs

Teaching school hubs (TSHs) are centres of excellence for teacher training and development, led by some of the best schools and multi-academy trusts in the country. The network of 87 TSHs has national coverage, ensuring every school in England has access to a centre of excellence.

TSHs provide high-quality professional development for teachers at all stages of their career.

They play a significant role in delivering:

• school-based initial teacher training (ITT)
• the early career framework (ECF)
• national professional qualifications (NPQs)
• appropriate body (AB) services for the induction of early career teachers - TSHs will become the main appropriate body providers from September 2024

TSHs also promote and deliver other high-quality evidence-based professional development to school leaders and teachers.
