Details

A hub is a strong school, or partnership of schools and other organisations, designated by the Department for Education (DfE), to help other schools develop and improve their practice.

DfE funds support via hubs for teachers and school leaders across different aspects of pedagogy. This guidance explains the support that different hubs offer and who can access this support.
