Halstow Hub
The Halstow Hub has established an exemplary reputation locally and nationally for creativity, innovation, and the achievement of the very highest standards. We are part of The Compass Partnership of Schools and work closely together to achieve the best outcomes for children and their families. We ensure a constant focus on current thinking and research so that our practice is cutting edge.
At the heart of our success is great teaching. It is the teacher in the class who establishes the relationships with every child, enabling all learners to feel safe, and confident to experiment, explore, and question. As a result, we are firmly committed to every practitioner’s professional learning, and therefore place a premium on crafting the highest quality learning experiences for all in partnership with Goldsmith’s University.
As trainee teachers, you will be engaged in a high-quality Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme that will run over the course of the academic year. The programme will provide you with opportunities to share your experiences with other trainee teachers and find answers to any issues you may have, in a safe and supportive context.
We offer the Tuition Fee programme, leading to a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) at the end of the year-long training.
