Overview

This book records the establishment of the University of Cambridge Primary School (UCPS), from the perspective of senior colleagues in the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Faculty of Education who played an important part in the conception and implementation of the UCPS. The UCPS is nationally distinctive, because it is the sole university training school established by the previous UK Coalition government (2010-15) and unique internationally, because of its simultaneous provision of primary schooling, initial teacher education placements and a research facility that is intended to drive forward a national research agenda and a set of evidence-based outcomes.
