Overview
This is the perfect opportunity for you to work towards a rewarding and challenging career at the McMillan School of Education, an established centre for teacher education set in a stimulating, diverse environment.
Our aim is to facilitate your transition from successful graduate to competent early career teacher (ECT). In addition to being an academic course, successful completion of the PGCE Secondary programme leads to recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
By the end of the course you will have been provided with the necessary training and opportunities to support your progress towards successfully meeting the Teachers’ Standards and recommendation for QTS.
The course aims to develop you as a reflective practitioner who will be able to improve continuously your own knowledge, understanding and skills.
What You Will Learn
You will study all areas of the secondary curriculum for this subject and link practice to theory, completing academic modules at Level 7. Bradford College sessions are relevant, often practically based, and address the subject knowledge, teaching techniques (pedagogy) and professionalism needed to support children and young people in their learning.
The course is designed to make strong links between theory and practice in school, meeting the minimum entitlement outlined in the ITT: Core Content Framework within an ambitious curriculum designed by Leeds Trinity University. You will be supported by tutors and mentors in college and in school to prepare you for your career in teaching.
School-based training
School experience is a vital part of your teacher training programme. A key strength of the PGCE course is how theory and practice are related by working with children in placement schools -with support provided by experienced mentors.
Your placements will be arranged for you within the age range of 11-16. Every effort is made to ensure that the most appropriate placements are chosen for each trainee to enhance their professional development.
We have strong links with local schools, whose staff make a significant contribution to your training. Placement schools are situated in Bradford and the neighbouring areas to give a wide range of experience and to meet the needs of students from across the region.
You might not realise it, but Bradford College has been around for a long time.
In fact, we have been teaching for 185 years. We are one of the biggest education and training providers in the region, with around 20,000 students studying their A Levels, vocational qualifications, community courses, apprenticeships, degrees and masters with us.
All our courses are career focused. This means our main aims are to help you get a job or move on to the next stage of your education. Our staff have lots of experience, so know the skills you need to get a job. We work with experts in lots of different industries.
The Skills for Growth programme is fully-funded by the European Social Fund as part of Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s three-year plan to plug skills gaps identified by employers across different sectors in the city-region.
