London District East Teaching School Hub is one of 87 Teaching School Hubs designated by the Department for Education. Each Teaching School Hub has a specific geographical area: our Hub has a responsibility to all 238 schools in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Newham.
Our Vision
To deliver the highest quality evidence-informed CPD programmes for teachers at every stage of their career.
To provide local teachers with the training they need to ensure that every pupil, regardless of background, succeeds.
To engage and support all of our schools by offering them responsive, bespoke support that meets their needs.
Our vision is closely aligned with that of our Lead Provider – Ambition Institute. We are both determined to ensure educators keep getting better.
Our Values
We are a collaborative not-for-profit organisation.
We help schools to retain, grow and nurture great staff, teachers and leaders.
We work in partnership with all schools to focus on the very best teacher training, leadership development and school to school support.
Our collaborative approach is rooted in the shared vision that system-led improvements come through sharing effective, evidence-informed practices.
We are always evidence informed and help teachers to ensure every pupil, regardless of background, experiences a great education.
