Study Details: 1 year, full-time
Lead Partners was introduced in 2012 and allows schools to recruit students onto teacher education courses run in collaboration with universities. To make sure you have a range of placement opportunities, schools work together in Teaching Alliances.
This course is made up of both campus-based sessions - which will give you a grounding in the principles of good teaching practice - and school-based placements giving you the chance to apply your knowledge and experience a wide range of classroom situations. These placements will be in contrasting schools to give you a broad range of experience - they could be in city, suburban or rural schools, in the independent or state sector.
By the end of the course you will achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and awarded a University of Leicester PGCE.
2:1 degree for English, Geography, History or Social Science
2:2 degree for Maths, MFL, Sciences or RE
(We may, under exceptional circumstances, accept a Third if there are other very strong recommending features in your application.)
GCSE Grade C or above in English Language and Maths.
A-levels (or equivalent) in relevant subjects
Although not essential, you may find it useful to have recent experience working with children and/or observing teaching in a school setting, ideally relating to the age range/subject you wish to teach. When writing your application you should try to reflect on your experience and tell us what you learnt.
A pass in the Professional Skills Tests in literacy and numeracy
We will support you in applying for teaching posts. The mock interviews we include as part of the course have directly resulted in job offers for our students.
We foster your continued relationship with Education at Leicester once you become an NQT by supporting your career development in a number of ways.
We offer a range of professional development opportunities for practicing teachers, and we offer Masters courses with a focus on Learning and Teaching, Educational Leadership, TESOL and Applied Linguistics.
