Course Overview

You’ll learn the teaching methods and strategies that will help your classes develop their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills so they become effective communicators.

Assignments and school-centered activities are structured around the development of your School Experience Progress Journal (SEPJ) which demonstrates your progress against the nationally agreed competencies (the Teachers’ Standards), which all teachers must meet throughout their career. A system of continuous review and assessment of progress in the SEPJ will support your growing ability to take responsibility for your own development. 

  • We will help you to become a committed, confident, autonomous, creative and reflective teacher

  • At least 120 days across a minimum of two placements, in line with the DfE requirements, supported by a subject mentor in your school and a personal development tutor at the University

  • We’re proud of our high employability rates, with 99% of PGCE Secondary Education students in employment or further study six months after completing their course (DLHE survey results 2016/17)

  • Gain Master's level credits gained as part of this course that you can then use towards a full Master's degree
