Cardiff Partnership for Initial Teacher Education

The Cardiff Partnership for Initial Teacher Education comprises Cardiff Metropolitan University, three of Wales’s regional consortia (including EAS), the University of Oxford, Cardiff University and City of Cardiff Council together with hundreds of partner schools. 

In the process of educating student teachers, the partnership creates resources informed by research and practical experience. 

The Partnership’s professional learning YouTube channel is a means of sharing with the wider education community, and includes research webinars, examples of the very best student teacher research, and resources relating to the new Curriculum for Wales.

​As part of the Cardiff Partnership for ITE, Cardiff Metropolitan University student teachers will have the opportunity to train in partnership with one of our lead primary, secondary cross phase Schools or School Alliances across South East Wales.
