Robert Smedley, The University has recently achieved Grade 1 Pro Vice-Chancellor ‘outstanding' results across all 33 possible and Dean of the graded areas covering every phase of initial Faculty of Education teacher training - Primary & Early Years, Secondary and Post-Compulsory Education and Training. This recognition from Ofsted reflects the quality of the training experience at Edge Hill University and its partner schools and colleges, and the stunning outcomes that our trainees achieve.
