Cannon Park is a suburb in the southwest of the City of Coventry, West Midlands, England. It can be accessed via the major roads Kenpas Highway (A45) or Kenilworth Road. The area has a sizable shopping centre of the same name (considered 'state-of-the-art' when it opened in 1977) which features food stores, shops and eateries. Tenants include a post office, Tesco, Wilko and Iceland. The residential area of Cannon Park was developed between the late-1960s and mid-1980s and is considered to be one of the most prosperous districts of the city. The University of Warwick is located directly adjacent to Cannon Park. The suburb is served by Cannon Park Primary School located within it. It is bounded by the suburbs of Canley to the north and west, Westwood Heath to the south, Cannon Hill to the northeast, and Gibbet Hill to the southeast. The bus stop at the shopping centre is used as the stop and sometimes terminus for Megabus services to London, Leeds, Manchester and Portsmouth. There are currently plans in place to demolish the current shopping centre, and replace it with a new one including a significantly larger Tesco Extra store, similar in size to the one at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry. It is currently unclear when such plans will be developed, as whilst receiving planning permission from the local authority, there has been significant opposition from local residents.

Coventry College of Education existed as a separate institution until its incorporation into the University of Warwick in 1978 as the Westwood campus. It was located to the north of the University's main site. From 1948, the Principal of Coventry Teacher Training College (later called Coventry College of Education) was Joan Dillon Browne (1912–2009), who was made an honorary professor on her retirement in 1975. Under her leadership, the college roll grew to some 1,500 students, among them – in the mid-1970s – Estelle Morris, future Secretary of Education, who remembered "JD" as "a pioneer in showing what women could achieve, long before it was fashionable to do so". On Joan Dillon's retirement, vice-principal Gordon Lawrence (1923–2011) became principal. When the college merged with the University of Warwick in 1978, he was appointed as the first Director of the Institute of Education, remaining in post until his retirement in 1984. During the early 1970s the college arranged overseas visits and exchanges for students. These included visits to Silkeborg in Denmark and a student exchange scheme with Eastern Michigan University in the USA.In 2013, a working group at the University of Warwick recommended that the Institute of Education should be replaced by the establishment of two different units, "a University-wide academic Centre for Education Studies and a business unit for the professional education of teachers".In 2013, Dr Adam Boddison was appointed as the Director of the Centre for Professional Education. Under Adam Boddison's leadership, the Centre for Professional Education was judged by Ofsted to be outstanding in all areas for both Primary and Secondary teacher training in January 2016.
