Chiltern Teaching School Hub

 

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.
