Course summary

This full-time, one-year PGCE course prepares you to teach children in the 5 to 11 age range as a primary teacher. It involves both Infinity school-based placements and sessions at the university with a strong focus on integrating theory and practice. 

 

• At least 120 days will be spent on placement in schools or settings, and there will be an additional 20 days of Intensive Training and Practice (ITaP) experiences.
• School placements are carefully structured to ensure the gradual development of your confidence as an effective teacher, through building up experience working with university-based mentors and school-based mentors.
• The focus of this course is on teaching and learning to support children and on the importance of your professional role. To this end, you will be prepared to teach the relevant curriculum subjects and areas of learning for your chosen age range. You will carry out a series of school-based and directed study tasks which link the theory to practice and provide a focus for reflection.
• You will be supported in your learning by university tutors, school teachers, school-based mentors and your peers. Practical teaching is introduced gradually, allowing you to build confidence and skills in a structured way.

 

This PGCE provides integrated academic and professional preparation for teaching, combining study at either postgraduate or professional level with practical training to meet the Teachers’ Standards. The goal is that you should become a reflective practitioner – a teacher who thinks about their experiences and learns from them in order to improve their practice.

 

This course leads to recommendations for Qualified Teacher Status and an academic PGCE qualification.
