The Primary PGCE course is split into two key components: the taught course (delivered by the University and School Direct Leads) and school placements which constitute the University Partnership ITT Curriculum. The taught course offers training in all National Curriculum primary subjects as well as a broad spectrum of ‘professional studies’ topics relating to the wider roles and responsibilities of teachers. Innovative teaching approaches are utilised to deliver our taught course including a wide range of school-based learning experiences, such as live Skype lessons and school centred training days, as well as the tailored use of subject experts, current practitioners and expertise from within the partnership. In order to be recommended for the award of QTS, the trainees are expected to spend a minimum of 120 days in school as well as engaging in a taught course that encompasses the key principles of the DfE framework of core content for initial teacher training (ITT). There are two assessed teaching placements: SE1 and SE2. These will take place in opposite key stages. Additionally, there are additional placements in which trainees will engage in more experiential classroom activities to develop their professional knowledge.
