2026 Lead School Partner Programme

Welcome to the Shropshire Primary Partnership Lead School Partner PGCE Cohort 2025-26! 

In association with the University of Chester, we’re thrilled to welcome our new cohort of Associate Teachers to the start of an exciting journey in education.

Shropshire Primary Partnership, part of Empower Multi Academy Trust, had a fantastic first day welcoming the new PGCE cohort, filled with connection, collaboration and inspiration. From exploring key course documents and the PGCE overview to engaging in ice breakers and sharing a lovely lunch, it was a brilliant start to the year. We reflected on what has influenced us as teachers and the powerful role teachers play as role models.

We’re looking forward to welcoming Zoe and David who couldn’t join us today—your energy will complete our group!

Here’s to a year of growth, learning, and making a difference. Let’s do this! 💪📚✨
