Paddington Academy now has Teaching School Hub status

Teaching school hubs are school-led centres of excellence for teacher and leadership training and development. New for September 2021, there are 87 hubs across the country and are made up of some of the best schools and multi-academy trusts in the country.

The Central London Teaching School Hub is based at Paddington Academy and serves schools across the boroughs of Camden, Islington, Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster. In addition, we will be providing programmes across our multi-academy trust, United Learning. We are proud to provide high-quality professional development to teachers at all stages of their careers.

We will be offering programmes to teachers at all stages of their careers:

• school-based initial teacher training (ITT)
• the early career framework which launched this September
• the new specialist national professional qualifications (NPQ)
• leadership NPQs
• appropriate body services for early career teachers - schools that are not currently appropriate bodies will need to register as an appropriate body after becoming teaching school hubs

Teaching school hubs will also promote and deliver other high-quality evidence-based professional development to school leaders and teachers. At the heart of this development is our students; we want to ensure that students in this country receive the best educational opportunities, and that means investing and supporting the continued professional development of our teachers.
