PGCE School Direct - Primary and Secondary

Course Overview

School Direct is a government-led initiative that seeks to place schools at the center of Initial Teacher Education (ITE). Working with the University of Roehampton, our partner schools take a leading role in recruiting trainee teachers and in designing and delivering the training program. This is open to high-quality graduates. Applications are made on UCAS to individual schools or alliances of schools. The schools pay a salary based on that of an unqualified teacher but there is no government bursary. Trainees carry out training at Roehampton and within their school alliance.
