LJMU Together diagram, linking student focus, community, courage and inclusivity.

Welcome to working in partnership with LJMU. We have a long-standing reputation for excellence in teacher education, consistently delivering high-quality provision through our strong partnership with schools in the Liverpool City Region and beyond. Our partnership is a source of great pride.

LJMU offers innovative approaches to Initial Teacher Education (ITE), collaborating with primary, secondary, and other education providers across the North-West of England and beyond. In our most recent inspection (June 2023), Ofsted graded both Primary and Secondary ITE provision at LJMU as 'Good'. A particular strength noted by Ofsted is our ambitious ITE curriculum, underpinned by appropriate and pertinent research, providing student teachers with the breadth and depth of knowledge they need to succeed.

LJMU and its partner schools are dedicated to developing socially engaged teachers who are well-prepared to make a positive difference to the life chances of pupils in our region.
