Primary Education (School Direct) PGCE(Postgraduate Certificate in Education)

Our Primary Education (School Direct) PGCE provides you with the skills, understanding and professional knowledge you need to succeed as an outstanding teacher.
On the School-centred route you will be assigned to one of our Teaching School Alliance partners and the majority of your time will be spent at school. You will be fully immersed in your placement from the start and your academic learning will take place both at university and within the teaching school.

Your professional development will be underpinned throughout the course by essential theoretical knowledge. You will assess current research and developments at local, national and international levels, critically engaging with the educational issues which will shape your teaching practice.

Within this school direct programme you will be expected to critically engage with educational issues and develop as reflective practitioners, able to evaluate and adapt your practice to meet the needs of learners from diverse cultural backgrounds. The University provides a strong centre-based opportunity to develop and share good practice.
