  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    PGCE 1 year full time

Course Description

This Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA)-accredited PGCE Secondary Mathematics course trains you to teach Mathematics to 11 to 16-year-olds. London Metropolitan University’s partnership with local schools ensures you’ll have a continuity of support throughout both your theoretical learning and practical placements.

Attendees of our PGCE Secondary courses pass with high results, with 95% achieving an Ofsted good or outstanding grade and 96% going on to obtain employment, usually with one of their placement schools. You also have access to Department of Education (DfE) bursaries as well as the Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) in Mathematics if needed.

Our PGCE Secondary Mathematics course teaches you the skills and knowledge needed for teaching mathematics to 11 to 16-year-olds (Key Stage 3 and 4) and leads to Qualified Teacher Status. This Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA)-accredited course also offers you the opportunity to develop your A level teaching where possible.

We’ll introduce you to current debates in mathematics and a wide variety of interactive teaching styles, including group work and computer presentations. If you need help improving your own mathematics knowledge, we run a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course to help your training.

With our teaching placements in London, you’ll improve your ability to teach in multicultural urban environments. By combining your studies at London Met with practical teaching placements, you’ll increase your understanding of the ways children learn and how your teaching style can help develop their mathematics skills.

Entry Requirements

 In addition to the University’s standard entry requirements, you should have:

  • minimum of a 2.2 UK degree or master’s (MA/MSc)
  • a pass in professional skills tests for literacy and numeracy
  • a valid Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate and Confirmation of Fitness to Teach (eg a London Metropolitan University Health Check) which you will be advised to apply for after an offer is made
  • GCSE English, Mathematics and Science grade C (grade 4) or above (or equivalent, see Equivalency Testing or A Star Teachers)

We do make conditional offers (with strict deadlines) so it is important that you include all pending qualifications in your UCAS application.

The University will assess any overseas qualifications for equivalence using a number of resources including our own internal guidelines, the UK National Recognition Information Centre (NARIC) and the Overseas Degree Table.
