The Tees Valley Teaching School Hub originally designated by the DFE in 2021, was redesignated by the DfE in Summer of 2024 to deliver the commitments set out in the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy. This strategy created a golden thread of high quality evidenced based support training and development available at all stages of a teacher’s career. Central to these ongoing reforms the Teaching School Hub has since the original designation worked with over 270 schools from a across the Tees Valley and beyond.
