| Are you looking for a rewarding career where you will be able to impact some of the most crucial years of a child's development? Our PGCE Primary (School based) programme is for you. |
| We develop excellent teachers who are resilient, critical, and reflective classroom practitioners. Trainees benefit from the university’s commitment to inclusivity, diversity and serving disadvantaged communities. The well-structured curriculums and placement-based training prepare trainees well to enter the world of teaching. (Ofsted 2023) |
| This school-based programme with QTS* aims to prepare beginning teachers to meet the Teachers’ Standards. Throughout the programme, beginning teachers will be challenged to achieve these standards to the highest level and we shall aspire to enable them to achieve outstanding levels of professional practice through both the taught curriculum and their placement practice. |
