Cardiff Partnership

What is the Cardiff Partnership?

The Cardiff Partnership for Initial Teacher Education comprises Cardiff Metropolitan University and its associated partner schools, working in collaboration with University of Oxford, Cardiff University, Central South Consortium (CSC), Education Achievement Service (EAS), and City of Cardiff Council.

Danescourt Primary School is a Lead School in The Cardiff Partnership for Initial Teacher Education, working closely with Cardiff Metropolitan University and its other partner schools to ensure that the next generation of teachers is the best that it can be.

We offer high quality professional learning through Clinical Practice placements, where students are placed in classes and supported by skilled mentors, and through School Led Training Days, where larger groups of students observe theory being put into practice across the school.

Our involvement with the Partnership is mutually beneficial and supporting those whose ambition is to enter into the teaching profession further consolidates our commitment to staying abreast of the latest learning theory and pedagogical practice. 

"The Cardiff Partnership for Initial Teacher Education provides our students with the opportunity to work in some of our strongest schools. Our students are exceptionally well-supported by our staff at Cardiff Met and in our partner schools."
Julia Longville, Dean of Cardiff School of Education and Social Policy
