What do we offer?
Our PGCE seamlessly blends university study and school experience in contrasting placements, where you will experience different pupils, classroom practices and research in action.
Our PGCE is designed as a structured and individual preparation for becoming a teacher who makes a difference. It will help you to develop the core and specialist skills of an excellent practitioner which are highly valued by both academic and non-academic future employers.
"The seamless interweaving of education theories and research into the subject-specific aspects of the curriculum makes trainees’ experiences here distinctive. University staff and expert colleagues from partner schools provide trainees with deep insight into education research that is continually applied to classroom practice. The curriculum is taught in ways that model effective pedagogy for trainees." Ofsted report 2024
