Outstanding teacher training says Ofsted
A team of eight of Her Majesty’s Inspectors and eight Ofsted Inspectors conducted a 6-day inspection including 85 lesson observations in 40 schools and colleges. Judgements were made in the following areas: overall effectiveness, outcomes for trainees, quality of training, leadership and management. Inspectors state that “The partnership has a clear and ambitious vision for sustained excellence and is clearly focused on further improving high quality provision and outcomes for trainees and pupils in schools. The partnership harbours no hint of complacency or excuse. One mentor said she was, ‘proud to be part of the journey to achieve beyond outstanding."

Dr Adam Boddison, Director of the Centre for Professional Education, said
This excellent report demonstrates that high quality teacher education can have a direct impact on learner progress in the classroom. Colleagues across CPE, CLL and the wider school/college partnership have worked incredibly hard in recent years to achieve this result."
Dr Adam Boddison has now left the University to take up the role of Chief Executive at the National Association of Special Education Needs from January. Kate Ireland has been appointed as the Interim Director of CPE and recruitment for the substantive post will begin in February.
