Teaching School Hubs have a remit and role to deliver the Early Career Framework (ECF). To achieve this Teaching School Hubs must partner with one of six organisations that have been accredited by the Department for Education (DfE) as a Lead Provider (LP) for the 2021-2025 cohorts.
As a Teaching School Hub we have carried out significant due diligence on all six Lead Providers that have been accredited by the DfE to deliver the Early Career Framework. As a result, Teach First is our delivery partner of choice, read why below.
