Supporting the development of teachers and school leaders
Red Kite Teaching School Hub works with schools, teachers and education partners across North Yorkshire to strengthen teaching, develop leadership and support the next generation of educators.
We believe that high-quality professional development makes a lasting difference, not only to the individuals that take part, but to the schools, communities and children they serve. Our role is to connect schools with expertise, programmes and support they need at every stage of the education workforce journey.
Our role as a Teaching School Hub
As a Department for Education designated Teaching School Hub, we play an important role in delivering and supporting the national priorities for teacher development.
Our work brings together the Department for Education's professional development 'golden threads' including:
Early Career Teacher Programme (ECTP): supporting early career teachers and the mentors and schools who guide them through the start of their teaching.
Appropriate Body services: supporting schools to meet their statutory responsibilities for the induction of early career teachers.
National Professional Qualifications (NPQs): providing opportunities for teachers and leaders to develop their knowledge, skills and expertise at every stage of their careers.
Initial Teacher Training (ITT): working with schools and ITT providers to support high-quality teacher training and strengthen the wider teacher development landscape.
Working in partnership
Collaboration is central to everything we do. We work in partnership with University College London (UCL), schools and a wide network of education partners, drawing on their knowledge, experience and expertise to deliver high-quality professional development.
Our commitment to developing great teachers and leaders extends beyond our core Teaching School Hub responsibilities. Through our wider work with our other Red Kite strands and partners, we connect schools and individuals with an even broader range of professional learning opportunities.
Red Kite Connect brings these opportunities together, providing a place for schools and education professionals to discover further professional learning, events and networking opportunities.
