Roade English Hub
Roade English Hub provides support to local schools, academies and free schools to improve the teaching of phonics, early language and reading in reception and Year 1.
Maths Hub
The East Midlands South Maths Hub is part of a national network, funded by the DfE and coordinated by the NCETM. It covers Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland, Corby, Daventry, East Northamptonshire and Kettering, and is led by Beauchamp College, Oadby, Leicestershire.
The Computing Hub
The Computing Hub, led by Beauchamp College, will work with you to identify your computing needs and provide a targeted programme of support. High-quality CPD with generous bursaries is available, along with teaching and learning resources and school-to-school support.
STEM Learning
STEM Learning is committed to making STEM education part of everything they do. Whether that’s delivering teacher CPD in STEM subjects, bringing STEM role models into schools as part of the STEM Ambassador Programme, or providing bespoke, long-term support for groups of schools in collaboration with companies through their ENTHUSE Partnerships, our aim is always the same – to improve lives through STEM education.
Language Driven Pedagogy
Building on the success of England’s first MFL Centre for Excellence, the National Centre for Excellence for Language Pedagogy (NCELP), LDP continues the successful partnership between The University of York and The Cam Academy Trust to sustain the approach of strong partnership between academic research and teaching practice for translating educational research into effective classroom practice. They provide a comprehensive programme of CPD showing how the recommendations from the MFL Pedagogy Review (2016) can be operationalised through a language-led, knowledge-rich and practice-based curriculum.
Behaviour Hub
The DfE’s new Behaviour Hub Programme will enable schools with exemplary behaviour practices to work with other schools to improve their behaviour culture. Keyham Lodge is the lead school in a designated behaviour hub.
