Secondary (11-18 years)
The Secondary PGCE (11-18) will prepare you to teach Key Stages 3, 4 (11-16) and Post-16 (sixth form) pupils.
You are required to gain experience of teaching across two different Key Stages in order to attain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Secondary level subjects
We offer both the Postgraduate Certificate in Education and the Professional Graduate Certificate in Education in all subject areas:
- Computer Science
- English
- History
- Mathematics
- Modern Foreign Languages
- Physical Education
- Science (specialising in Biology, Chemistry or Physics)
School placement
In order to gain a broad experience of teaching you will be placed in two schools over the course of your PGCE: the majority of your time will be in your allocated Home School, with a six week block in different Complementary school.
Due to the limited number of schools in the city it is unlikely that your school placement will be in Bath itself. The majority of the secondary schools that we work with are based in Wiltshire.
