PGCE Primary (Full Time)

... United Kingdom
... Bishop Grosseteste University

Course Overview

This full-time, one-year course includes time spent on placement in schools or Early Years settings and sessions at the university with a strong focus on integrating theory and practice. At least 120 days will be based in a placement school or neighborhood. Placements are carefully structured to ensure the gradual development of your confidence as an effective teacher through building up experiences working with university-based mentors and school/setting-based mentors. It is an integrated academic and professional preparation for teaching, combining postgraduate or professional study with practical training to meet the Teachers’ Standards by the end of the course. The goal is that you should become a reflective practitioner – a teacher who thinks about their experiences and learns from them to improve their practice.

This course focuses on teaching and learning to support children and on the importance of your professional role. You will carry out a series of study tasks that link theory to practice and provide a focus for reflection. You will be supported in your learning by university tutors, school/setting-based mentors, and peers. Practical teaching is introduced gradually, allowing you to build confidence and skills in a structured way.

There is a strong emphasis on linking theory and practice, with the academic modules supporting you in developing your practice. All placements form an integral part of the course, leading to a recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) by the end of your training. At Bishop Grosseteste University, our PGCE program is underpinned by an ambitious curriculum, carefully.

sequenced to provide you with the knowledge and skills to succeed in your training. There are also opportunities for enrichment experiences to develop your breadth of experience in different schools and settings.

Our Ofsted Report (2016) found that high-quality training, provided through an effective partnership between the university and schools/settings, ‘ensures that teachers trained by the university present as confident and effective practitioners valued by their employing schools.
