Leicester,

The School of Education at the University of Leicester is one of the largest in the UK and has a long-standing reputation for teaching, research and professional development. Formed in 1962, our many years of experience have allowed us to develop effective programmes and training provision, designed to meet our students' needs. We provide programmes for all phases of the study of education, from initial teacher training to advanced research degrees. Our courses offer experienced professionals the opportunity to obtain further qualifications through various learning methods, full-time and part-time taught courses, distance learning and by research. Our higher degree courses attract students from across the world, resulting in a vibrant professional and cultural diversity that enhances the sense of academic community as well as the quality of teaching and learning. The School is extremely active and has been notably successful in attracting a wide range of research projects and funding from a variety of national and international funding bodies. Such funding has supported a number of major projects, particularly within primary education, teacher education and citizenship. We are a member of the College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities. Our College covers a range of subject areas and empowers interdisciplinary collaboration, having developed an intellectually-curious, pioneering environment for our 13,000 students and 700 staff, who are changing the world with their exciting and progressive work and research.

I am extremely proud to be Principal and CEO of such an innovative, high performing and caring college. After studying at the College over 90% of our students progress into work or higher education. Student behaviour and attitudes at the College are rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. This results in high levels of success in our wide range of qualifications as well as exceptional student skill development and medal achievements in local, regional, national, and international skills competitions. At the most recent WorldSkills UK national finals our College was the best performing College in England. Students won gold medals in creative media makeup, silver medals in digital media production and visual merchandising, and foundation level students won gold medals in catering health and social care, and motor vehicle skills. College students also won seven gold medals in the Welsh International Culinary Championship. The amazing commitment and high levels of expertise of our teaching and support staff over the last year has been recognised in nominations for a TES national award (for our distance and online learning team) and through two national Pearson award nominations for our beauty and holistic therapies teaching team and for one of our learning support mentors. We have also been awarded chartered status by the Chartered Institution for Further Education, the only organisation in the UK with royal assent to provide chartered status to FE providers. In the last three years, the College has opened two new world class campuses. The College-led MIRA Technology Institute (MTI) is located on the HORIBA MIRA Technology Park and is a learning partnership with HORIBA MIRA, Coventry, Leicester, and Loughborough Universities. Students and apprentices at this campus are building skills to support the disruptive technologies such as electrification and cyber security in the automotive industry. The College’s new Digital Skills Academy located on the Coventry University Technology Park represents part of our response to the fast-growing demand for digital skills in all industry sectors. Over the next year, we will be opening our Centre for Logistics Education and Research (CLEAR) at Magna Park, in partnership with Aston University and industry partner Wincanton. We will also be progressing our plans with Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council to move our award-winning restaurant and a new Digital Innovation Centre into Nuneaton town centre, and we will continue with the redevelopment of our Nuneaton campus into a 21st century digitally enable centre of teaching excellence.
