Holy Spirit MAC Primary Partnership
Welcome to the Holy Spirit MAC Primary Partnership and Birmingham Newman University PGCE Programme.
Our five schools in Nuneaton, Bedworth, and Atherstone offer a welcoming and supportive environment for educators looking to make a real impact. Nestled in the heart of Warwickshire, these schools provide an excellent place to teach, with a strong sense of community and a commitment to nurturing both students and staff.
Working in one of our schools, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds, being close to the vibrant cities of Coventry and Birmingham while benefiting from the peaceful surroundings of smaller towns and countryside. Whether you live locally or commute, you’ll find a friendly and inclusive atmosphere where you can thrive professionally.
