About Us
The Outwood Institute of Education is a network supporting schools to raise standards in education and outcomes for students across the North of England.
The network consists of a Maths Hub, an English Hub, Teach Outwood and the National Institute of Teaching (NPQ provider). These organisations work together to form the Outwood Institute of Education and work to support schools to improve outcomes for young people across the North of England. Read more about them below:
The Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub
The Maths Hub programme brings together all mathematics education professionals in a national network of hubs. Each hub is locally led by an outstanding school or college, working in partnership with neighbouring schools, colleges, universities, CPD providers, maths experts and employers. The lead school for the Yorkshire and the Humber Maths Hub is Outwood Grange Academy, Wakefield.
All the hubs collaborate as a national group, pooling experiences, expertise and ideas as a network. They meet once a term at the National Maths Hubs Forum. The Maths Hubs are a new way of harnessing the maths expertise within an area, and to spread excellent practice for the benefit of all pupils and students.

The Outwood English Hub
The English Hub programme was launched in October 2018 when the Department for Education announced the names of 34 schools across England that were to be designated as an English Hub. A further 2 schools have since been designated to increase the network.
The purpose of the English Hubs is to promote a love of reading and to take a leading role in supporting schools in the teaching of early reading and phonics. English Hubs will run events to showcase excellent practice in teaching reading to local schools.
Outwood Primary Academy Lofthouse Gate, Wakefield, is designated as English Hub and works as part of the Outwood Institute of Education network.

Teach Outwood
We are now recruiting to train the next generation of teachers through the National Institute of Teaching's Initial Teacher Training programme.
As founding partners of this organisation, we are excited to collaborate with three other leading school trusts - Star Academies, Harris Federation and Oasis Community Learning. Together, we have selected what is best from our trusts' initial teacher development and built an immersive programme to equip our cohort of future teachers to inspire and develop children across the country.
The National Institute of Teaching
The National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) is England’s new flagship teacher and leader training and development provider. Founded by four of the country’s most respected school trusts, it is run by schools for schools. The Institute will boost the quality of teacher and leader development by generating and interpreting research, applying the insights to the design and delivery of its programmes, and sharing it all with the sector.
