Curriculum Hubs
Curriculum Hubs are Department for Education (DfE) funded centres, led by high-performing schools across England. They provide expert, subject-specific training and support for teachers and school leaders, helping to strengthen classroom practice and enrich curriculum development. Through funded or subsidised programmes, the hubs offer guidance, training, and advice in key areas - supporting schools to build expertise and ultimately improve outcomes for students.
At Chiltern Teaching School Hub we are proud to promote and work with specialist curriculum hubs to ensure schools continuously receive the highest standards of curriculum-specific assistance and support.
See below for which curriculum hubs we work with and what opportunities they are offering at the moment. Click their logos to visit their website and learn more.
