Hampshire Teaching School Hub accredited by Department for Education for the next four years

A Hampshire Teaching School Hub has been successfully reaccredited by the Department for Education for the next four years.

The HISP Teaching School Hub based in Southampton will continue to be at the forefront of teacher training and development for schools within the region for the next four years.

The hub’s reaccreditation means it will act as the designated hub for teacher training and development for schools across the south coast.

As part of the accreditation process, the hub had to demonstrate an understanding of the barriers the areas it serves are facing, a proven track record of delivering high quality training for both experienced and new teachers, and a plan to expand its capabilities.

Deputy Director of the HISP Teaching School Hub David Higginbottom (left) said he was looking forward to working with schools for another four years, especially those in disadvantaged areas.

David added: “I’m so pleased we’ve been accredited for another four years. Our work will help to ensure that pupils across the south coast will receive the very best education – no matter their background – for the next four years.

Having access to face-to-face training delivered by local educational experts is so important for teachers at every stage of their career. We focus on techniques teachers can put into practice as soon as they leave a session with us.”

The HISP Teaching School Hub is part of HISP Multi-Academy Trust and offers high quality education, resources and support for teachers.
