I've just finished uni and have only recently decided that a teaching career might just be for me. I'm looking at applying for a Secondary History PGCE this year but I still need to get some experience, which is a little tricky as I'm off travelling from September-December. I phoned the Teaching Agency today though and got onto their School Experience Programme, so I should be able to get a placement under my belt before term finishes. I'm also looking at volunteering with young people over the summer, so that might bulk out my personal statement a bit. It seems like all of you are ahead of the game in terms of experience though!
