Course overview
Our Primary Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with QTS focuses on the 5-11 age range and our Early Years Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with QTS focuses on the 3-7 age range. Our courses will develop you into a highly effective teacher, equipped with the values, skills, and knowledge to become a successful school leader.
On the course you will learn key pedagogic principles e.g. behaviour management, assessment for learning and how to meet the needs of all through creating an inclusive classroom. You will develop your subject knowledge whilst learning how to plan and teach across all National Curriculum subjects, and the Foundation Stage Curriculum (Early Years Programme). Enhanced training in SEND teaching and learning is a distinctive aspect of our school and professional experience.
You will have access to excellent personal, academic and pastoral support. From our partner schools, you can expect a programme of high-quality mentor support and professional training and development, which complements the University-based elements of the course, and which will support your development of classroom practice.
In partnership with regional schools, we will ensure that you have the skills and knowledge needed to forge a strong personal and professional identity, which you will continue to develop throughout your career. The Warwick Teacher Values, of Social Justice, Intellectual Curiosity and Creativity run through all our programmes.
