Common Purpose

Leeds Teaching School Hub is dedicated to enhancing teacher development across the city region, offering a range of comprehensive professional development (CPD) opportunities for educators at every stage of their career, from initial teacher training to executive leadership. A key focus of the Hub is to ensure that the educational needs of disadvantaged children remain a central point of emphasis in all their initiatives. The Hub provides a structured two-year induction programme through the Early Career Framework (ECF) for newly qualified teachers, as well as National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) designed to bolster the skills of teachers and leaders aspiring to expand their expertise. Additionally, the Leeds Teaching School Hub serves as an Appropriate Body, ensuring that statutory entitlements for Early Career Teachers are met while aligning initial teacher training with the ECF requirements.
