Welcome to the Midland Knowledge Schools hub

THE MIDLAND KNOWLEDGE SCHOOLS HUB

Picture
The Midland Knowledge Schools Hub, based at Saint Martin's Catholic Academy is a network supporting schools and teachers who are trying to develop a Knowledge-rich Curriculum. Saint Martin's, inspired by schools some great schools and educational thinkers, has been developing a curriculum that has at its heart the ambition that pupils will encounter the 'best that has been thought and said'. We have been working with a number of schools and Multi-Academy Trusts across the midlands to support, train and offer CPD. The aim of the Hub will be to link like minded teachers and schools to help and develop this approach to education.

We are all the inheritors of the greatest ideas, writings and discoveries of the past. The Knowledge Curriculum is designed to enable pupils to learn about these ideas, creating an extraordinarily ambitious curriculum underpinned by expert teaching, effective memorisation, no excuses approaches to discipline and a driven academic ethos where all pupils can thrive. 

The aim of the Hub, working with Parent and Teachers for Excellence  @PTE_Campaign, is to offer advice, training and support for schools interested in developing this approach. Although the Hub is based at Saint Martin's, we link teachers and school leaders across the midlands, disseminating, sharing and supporting academies and colleagues. 

For more information on the services of the Hub click here

Joe Kirby's Blog, Pragmatic Reform, is a brilliant one stop guide to some of the ideas that have been influencing schools like those involved in this movement - Click here.

Training & CPD

We offer CPD and training opportunities. Teachers are always welcome to visit Saint Martin's to see an example of how a Knowledge Curriculum can be developed.

Saint martin's

Saint Martin's was previously a Leicestershire 11-14 High school which converted to become an 11-16 Academy in 2014 delivering GCSEs for the first time in 2016. Through the inspiration of other great schools that focus on this approach (Thank you Michaela and others!) we have been able to deliver great outcomes at GCSE in an extraordinarily short space of time.
