DurationCourse description
Lead Partners was introduced in 2012 and allows schools to recruit students onto teacher education courses run in collaboration with universities. To make sure you have a range of placement opportunities, schools work together in Teaching Alliances.
This course is made up of both campus-based sessions - which will give you a grounding in the principles of good teaching practice - and school-based placements giving you the chance to apply your knowledge and experience a wide range of classroom situations.
These placements will be in contrasting schools to give you a broad range of experience - they could be in city, suburban or rural schools, in the independent or state sector.
By the end of the course you will achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and awarded a University of Leicester PGCE.
The Lead Partners Secondary PGCE is run in partnership with a range of partner schools. You can choose which school you would like to apply for and then submit your application through UCAS.
Each Lead Partners provider school will offer its own unique range of placement experiences and opportunities but will still share most, if not all, the Secondary PGCE Professional Studies Course with the students on our 'core' (University-led) Secondary Education PGCE course, giving you a great opportunity to share experience and practice with other students. Your subject studies will be undertaken together with core PGCE students.

Professional Studies Programme
The Professional Studies programme runs throughout the academic year and forms the core of the Secondary PGCE programme. It is compulsory for student teachers from all subject areas.
The Professional Studies programme will introduce you to a wide range of generic professional issues, organised into three strands that run throughout the PGCE year:
Reflective Practice
Career Development
Professional Values
Academic Skills Development
In addition to the compulsory programme, you will have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of optional sessions. This allows you to tailor your training to meet your own needs as you develop as a teacher. Previous optional sessions have included:
Working with students with Special Education Needs and Disabilities
English as an Additional Language
Technology-Enhanced Learning
