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