I'm waiting to apply to hopefully go this September, I can't apply till I've done my ten days work experience which is annoying as that won't happen till the beginning of May. But I hope to be there in September!

Hey,

I've just accepted an offer for Primary Teaching with SEN. Have you chosen your accommodation yet? (If you're living in the halls of residence!)

Hi,
I'm due to study general primary at the Lancaster campus this September too! I'm hopefully staying at pointer house which is a post grad halls. Have any of you sorted accommodation/ where are you staying?

Hey! I was going to have a look at accommodation after my interview, I want to go into post grad halls too! Do we have to apply pretty much now for a room?

Have a look at pointer house. It is right beside the uni so really handy for going to class etc. and only post grads which is even better! I went to see them last week and I thought they were great. Applying for them tomorrow :smile:

I'm hoping to stay in halls too. I was so scared for my interview but everyone's really friendly.

Hi, yes I've chosen mill hall as my first choice. It's the one off campus but I wanted to go self-catered.

No I had It a few months ago. For the writing task u can take as many notes as you want. It's one piece of work and as well as writing the points and skills the article states you have to say how it relates to you and the skills you have which will make you a good teacher. Ull be fine u get put with a small group of people for the task where u have to talk about the object you brought in. I suggest knowing which area of development ur item supports. For example literacy skills or social development. Then u do an individual interview for about 15 minutes. They give support for the skills tests but it's only letting you have a go at one and talking about whats included in it. You don't have to stay for that.

Hey, I'm a little late coming to this, but starting a PGCE at UoC in Lancaster in sept. Thinking about moving in to a share house as I've done the halls thing and prefer an actual house. Anybody else thinking this? Feel free to PM me and we can get to know each other before sept :smile:
