The East London Teaching School Hub

Mulberry School for Girls was delighted to be designated by the Department of Education as the lead school for Hackney and Tower Hamlets Teaching School Hub (TSH) in February 2021. We are one of 87 TSHs across the country each responsible for its own geographical area.

There are no great schools without great teachers, and it is the role of Teaching School Hubs to provide the best quality professional development so teachers can be their very best!

Teaching School Hubs have five core responsibilities:

1.     Delivery of the Early Career Framework (ECF)

2.     Delivery of new and revised National Professional Qualifications (NPQs)

3.     Delivery of Initial teacher training (ITT)

4.     Providing Appropriate Body (AB) services for Early Career Teachers

5.     Other Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

Over the last 18 months we have embarked upon an exciting start-up phase to ensure that we are ready to realise our ambition. As a result, by the end of the first year of our operation we had over 530 Early Career Teachers and their mentors training with us on the Early Career Framework Full Induction Programme from 70% of all state schools in our geographical area and over 240 teachers and leaders enrolled on our National Professional Qualification programmes. We are working in partnership with four strategic local partners to deliver our Full Induction Programme and have over twenty facilitators from a range of local Hackney and Tower Hamlets schools collaborating with us to deliver our programmes. We are now at the beginning of Year 2 and have a new cohort of ECF and NPQ participants joining our programmes. We have doubled in size!

We’ve got a lot of good news to celebrate and share, and we have a lot of programmes running which require careful coordination to ensure everyone working and training with us has the best quality experience.
