Secondary partnerships

Partnership information

Our strength in secondary education is the close working relationship we have with schools across the Midlands region. These close ties ensure we are able to produce the right teachers for this demanding sector. The partnership trains secondary school teachers on our three-year undergraduate QTS courses and one-year PGCEs.

You can access a range of documents and support materials to accompany both courses. Documentation is intended to provide you with a holistic understanding of the course and a more specific knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of tutors, mentors and trainee teachers.
