Welcome

Astra Teaching School Hub, based at Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham, was accredited in 2021 by the DfE. We were re-accredited in 2024 to continue as the Teaching School Hub for Buckinghamshire for a further four years.

We have responsibility as a 'system leader' for a range of key national priorities which support the Golden Thread of teacher career development. These include:

  • Initial Teacher Training (ITT)
  • Appropriate Body services for Early Career Teacher (ECT) induction
  • Early Career Framework (ECF) training
  • National Professional Qualification (NPQ) training

We work collaboratively with local curriculum hubs, national providers and research institutions to deliver the above services. Expert practitioners are deployed from schools across the county to support the delivery of our training.
