haybridge teaching school hub
As the DfE designated Teaching School Hub for Sandwell and Dudley, our vision is
to build an educational network of expertise with the goal of improving
education for all. Haybridge Teaching School Hub aims to be the focal point of
an outstanding educational community based in the West Midlands. We would like
to consider ourselves the single point of contact for every school across
Sandwell and Dudley to find the support they need. In order to achieve the
excellence we strive for, our Hub works closely with the Department for
Education to deliver the ‘Golden Thread’ of professional development to every
school in the region. The Department for Education’s ‘Golden Thread’ of
Professional Development is rooted in the highest quality evidence, providing
support from Initial Teacher Training through to school leadership. Each stage –
Initial Teacher Training, early career support, specialisation and leadership –
is underpinned by frameworks that build on and complement one another. These
frameworks, each a strand of the ‘Golden Thread’, have been independently
reviewed by the Education Endowment Foundation to ensure they draw on the best
available evidence.
