You will qualify with a PGCE with QTS and up to 60 masters level credits.

We are committed to providing a comprehensive and thorough primary teacher training. Our training programme, validated by Canterbury Christ Church University, is delivered by highly experienced lecturers and teachers from schools within Thames Primary Consortium, who also act as mentors to trainees. We respond promptly to an ever-changing landscape, making the necessary adjustments to the programme to ensure that our NQTs are able to work with immediate professional competency on graduation. 

Trainees spend time in a range of placements designed to provide a variety of experiences in different school settings, and are also given the opportunity to observe high-quality teaching in all subject areas.
 

Salaried and Training Routes

We run two PGCE routes through School Direct, salaried or training routes:

The School Direct Training Programme is for high-quality graduates who want to feel part of a school team whilst training. You'll pay fees but may be eligible for a bursary to support you.

The School Direct Training Programme (salaried) is an employment-based route for high-quality experienced graduates with at least three years' work experience. You will earn a salary while you train.
