This full-time, one-year course is designed to train you as a confident and inspiring secondary school teacher. Follow the PGCE route for Secondary Dance, History, Maths, Music, Physical Education or Science (Chemistry, Physics or Biology), with additional training on working with young people with SEND.
Our diverse and enhanced course has the core aim of training the next generation of inspiring teachers, who have a passion to engage young people in their chosen subject. This is achieved through a balance of study of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the teaching profession, the fundamentals of the national curriculum, and a dedicated focus on the development of your understanding of the role of a secondary school teacher. In addition, you will gain vital hands-on experience of working within the classroom through our 28-week placement programme, which will develop your confidence and competence to teach effectively. After successful completion, you will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) so that you can begin working as a teacher in a secondary school.
