Welcome to Bright Futures Teaching School Hubs for Trafford & Salford and Manchester & Stockport

We are delighted Bright Futures Educational Trust, based in the North West and Greater Manchester, has been selected to join a national network of 87 centres of excellence for teacher training and development.  The Department for Education (DfE) has designated Bright Futures as a Teaching School Hub to offer support to all schools in two hub areas: Trafford & Salford and Manchester & Stockport.  The designation covers all phases and types of schools.

Teaching School Hubs have been designated by the Department for Education (DfE), following a rigorous and robust application process, and are funded by the DfE to support its Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy.  A Teaching School Hub supports schools and Trusts to invest in their workforce to grow, recruit, develop and retain the very best teachers, support staff and leaders – focusing on the DfEs ‘golden thread’:

• Initial Teacher Training (ITT)
• Appropriate Body (AB)
• Early Career Teacher Entitlement (ECTE)
• National Professional Qualifications (NPQs)
