Hubs of Collaboration
Schools in our partnership can join forces in hubs, where leaders work together to address agreed local school improvement and continuous professional development (CPD) priorities
Challenge Partners’ hubs span all the way from Cornwall to County Durham, varying in size and phase
Who are they for?
Any schools who join Challenge Partners as a Full Partner or a Network Partner can join one of our 42 hubs. Where there isn’t a local hub near you, you can join a Regional Jubilee Network or start a new hub if you have capacity to support improvement of other schools in your area

Hubs have brought an energy - when myself and staff attend hub meetings we bring back knowledge, knowledge is confirmed and we learn what we need to find out. You couldn't buy that knowledge
