ASSOCIATE TEACHERS

Barnston Primary School, works in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University, Edge Hill and Chester University, offering outstanding teacher training. Candidates for the programme are selected by the universities and Barnston’s partnership is strong, long lasting and built on reputation, trust and integrity with each university - the school has gained mentor awards from JMU.

Reach Collaboration works in partnership as we share our expertise with each other in order to aid our Associate Teachers on the Programmes. Barnston Primary School is committed to each university programme, taking the majority of Associate Teachers to outstanding by the end of their practice.

Our schools have a very strong network of mentor support for our Associate Teachers and all our mentors attend regular CPD from JMU, Edge Hill and Chester University, as we are fully committed to our ITT programmes. Barnston’s Lead Mentor is Mr M Pipe.
