About PGCE Primary (5-11), PGCE - at Bishop Grosseteste University

This PGCE course prepares you to teach children in the 5 to 11 age range as a general primary teacher. It is a very practical course with around two thirds of the time spent in schools, mostly working with teachers and pupils, and around one third spent on directed study, with partnership training in the University and school. It is an integrated academic and professional preparation for teaching, combining study at either postgraduate or professional level with practical training to meet the Teachers' Standards by the end of the course.
