Our Primary School Direct) PGCE leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), providing you with the skills, understanding and professional knowledge you need to succeed as an outstanding teacher.
On the School-centred route you will be assigned to one of our Teaching School Alliance partners and the majority of your time will be spent at school. You will be fully immersed in your placement from the start and your academic learning will take place both at university and within the teaching school.
An Honours degree from a United Kingdom higher education institution or equivalent (non-honours degrees cannot be accepted).
Whilst school experience is no longer an essential criteria for entry onto the PGCE programme, it has proven highly effective in supporting candidates with the application and interview process, as candidates are able to reflect on their experiences and demonstrate their emerging/developing knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning in a secondary school. Furthermore, having some school experience has proven to support preparation for the programme as students already have a foundation they can build on.
