PGCE Applications 2015

Well done to everyone getting offers.

I am still waiting on a reply from Chester. It seems they have replied to all the primary applicants today so fingers crossed for a reply on Monday.
Sadly I got an unsuccessful from Liverpool John Moores.. I had a feeling it would be a no simply because I completely screwed up an interview question and they seemed to go a bit frosty from there on. Obviously once I walked out the room I thought of a few fantastic answers... never mind..

I did get an email today offering me an interview at Edge Hill so I will go to that in January regardless of Chester's reply.

What question was it, if you don't mind me asking

Schools requirements to actively 'promote' British values.

Schools requirements to actively 'promote' British values.

I done mine on wether TA's help or hinder the progress of students. Read an article that said they tend to just spoon feed the students the information rather than questioning them and challenging them whilst giving them the relevant information to help them succeed. I said it's mainly down to the way that the class teacher delegates the tasks to the TA's to which the interviewer agreed and said that they always tell their trainee teachers to come up with an action plan for the TA's that address that

Sorry guys another question
We're only allowed to put 3 schools/colleges/universities we've been to but I moved around and went to two colleges. Should i not put in what uni i went to cause the add a degree section comes later on or take out one of my colleges? Don't want them to think I took a year out and my a level dates are confusing. Anyone been in a similar situation?

So I got into UEA ☺️☺️☺️ so relieved! Felt like I was waiting for ages! Is anyone else going there? Or looking to house share for September? Xx

Just firmed Chester for Primary PGCE in September, anyone else going there?

Congrats! I applied to Chester three weeks ago and still haven't heard anything from them I know they only have about 40 places so I'm hoping they've not all already gone. It's my first choice now though

Passed my literacy and numeracy tests today and have accepted Durham from the 3 offers. Phew, now what will I do with my time now I don't have to revise!?

Hey when was your durham interview and when were you notified of their decision?

Hi
I'm going to an interview in Hope, Liverpool on Thursday for PGCE English secondary. Just wondering if anyone has attended one already and what type of interview questions that were asked?!
Thanks 😊

Got an offer from Manchester Met for Secondary History the day after my interview... Shock.Relief! Can't quite decide what to do with myself.

I've also applied to BCU and UCB. Birmingham was my first choice but I'm starting have some doubts. Mainly because of the amount of support offered, I know BCU are great for that. From my undergrad studies, UoB had a focus on independent learning. Which was fine then, but the PGCE is so intensive...

I haven't heard back from BCU yet (interview was only 3 days ago) so I'll have some more time to mull over my decision. Track for Birmingham is still showing as blank. The offer email did say that it can take up to 2 weeks for it to update though.

What were your other choices?
