Why Greenwich, Why Now?
Greenwich is uniquely positioned for a collaborative, community-led school improvement programme. The conditions are right, and the need is real.
Diverse School Communities
Greenwich schools serve some of the most varied communities in London, making local, contextualised school improvement more important than ever.
A Full Education Landscape
Strong primary, secondary, special school and alternative provision across the borough means the Hub model can work at every phase and setting.
University Partnership Potential
In association with the University of Greenwich, this programme brings credible research and evaluation capability right to the local level.
A Community Ready to Collaborate
Schools across Greenwich are already looking for scalable, evidence-informed improvement models. The time for a shared Hub approach is now.
What Is the OBC Hub Model?
This is not just another workshop offer. It is a structured, school-led change programme built on a Central Hub model that moves schools from inspiration to implementation.
A Central Hub School
One school hosts and convenes a local cohort, providing space, capacity, and local leadership for the programme.
8-12 Local Schools
A carefully matched cohort of Greenwich schools participates in expert-led sessions focused on a core practical challenge.
Actions, Not Just Inspiration
Every school leaves with a clear implementation plan. University-backed evaluation captures the learning and impact along the way.
