The Watford Partnership works with the University of Hertfordshire for Initial Teacher Training (ITT) and Herts for Learning for the Early Career Framework (ECF) alongside the Education Development Trust (EDT) core framework to provide support for the development of teachers.

The Partnership is set up to help to recruit ITT across partner schools alongside providing outstanding continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for both Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and ITT.

Outstanding teachers across the partnership deliver INSET for both the ECT and ITT pathways using a combination of both face-to-face and online methods making the best use of the expertise available across the partnership. This innovative and exciting programme is complemented with additional professional development from external providers on topics such as behaviour and memory.
