Course programme
Over the one year course, you will undertake University-based learning at Walsall Campus, and you will spend at least 120 days divided between two different schools across the 3-11 age range within the Primary age phase.
Your University tutor team is available to assist you throughout your training, supporting development of reflection.
Every effort is made to ensure that high-quality school placements are provided to you, facilitating learning through observing, co-teaching and being observed by experienced teachers in the classroom.
Teaching on the course comprises a variety of methodologies that will prepare you for life in the classroom including teacher-led discussions, pupil-led exploration, peer-group discovery, problem based learning, e-learning and the provision of individual targets.
You will be assessed in a variety of ways including written assignments; classroom based investigation and other school-based activities, and appraisal of practical teaching skills.
Typical modules may include:
- An Introduction to Foundation Subjects and RE
- Developing Information and Communication Technology Skills for the Primary School Classroom
- Primary English
- Placements in Primary Schools
- Primary Maths (and additional Maths)
- Primary Professional Studies
- Primary Science
These areas are the inter-connecting strands of the course and are further woven together by the underlying focus of applying Mathematics across the curriculum.
120 days (24 weeks) of the 36 week PGCE course will be spent in schools. You will undertake two assesed placements in two different schools. We try to take your geographical location into account when placing you in schools but our first concern is to ensure that you have a high quality school placement that can provide a range of experiences. Additional training will therefore take place in partner schools other than your 'attachment' schools. Support is available from your University Tutor throughout your training, plus from experienced teachers accredited by the University as school based tutors.
