Continuing Professional Development
Within the designated area of the Teaching School Hub there are a range of Department for Education Curriculum Hubs, who provide high quality training advice and consultancy to schools: including Maths and English Hubs and the Science Learning Partnership Hub.
Alongside curriculum hubs are a range of other expert partners in their field, all of whom have strong links with Manor TSH and already have plans in place to provide excellence in professional development both through DfE approved, evidence-informed programmes, as well as the development of bespoke CPD to meet the specific needs of our schools in South Staffs, Walsall and Wolverhampton as we strive to move towards world-class teacher development in our local area.
