Hi,
Does any of you know if we need to send anything in order to get the bursary for the PGCE? I read it's automatic but obviously they need to know our bank account details... so how does it work?
And apart from the CRB Check and the loan to pay the fees, is there any form to send?

Thank you!

Bursaries are dealt with by each university. You will hear more about it at the start of the course. There is nothing you can do about it until you are on the course.

Each university is different about what you need to send back. Look over everything that they have sent to you. I had quite a few different slips and forms for things but they will all be very individual depending on the university.

I've got onto the PGCE for ICT at Kings College London. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly it was all sorted out as I didn't even register with GTTR until the end of May. It sounds like it's going to be an exciting and challenging year for us all!

I need to get down to HSBC soonish in the week and get my postgrad account opened and sorted out come to think of it. These days it's a split between textbooks and checking some education sites for updates.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder! I need to do the same, as I think my interest free overdraft allowance is due to disappear/drastically reduce soon since I finished my MA a year ago. I shouldn't need to use it this year what with the bursary and a student loan, but I've got to pay for accommodation on a 2 week SKE course in August which isn't funded. :frown:

How's everyone finding their course reading? I'm finding it quite difficult to focus on - it's easy to read things when you've got an essay to write and know what you're looking for, but otherwise it's a lot to take in and I don't know what's important...

I'm also trying to learn a lot of Spanish grammar to get it up to scratch before my SKE course (I only have GCSE and I think the course is aimed more at people with A-Level), but then got sent a load of pre-course tasks in French and am realising some areas of that have got a bit rusty since I finished my degree 2 years ago. So much to do!

I got sent a reading list of about 40 books from UEA so I picked a selection really and I'm sort of just reading through them now, both geography teaching, geography and general secondary teaching, my main worry is subject knowledge (how can I remember 7 years of geography off by heart?!) ;_;. I'm sure it'll come together though.

I'm also trying to find the best sites for education news, might go pick up a Guardian tomorrow, see what the latest is on the printed front. I'm sort of just checking the BBC, Guardian and TES sites every morning with my breakfast and seeing what the latest is, the best stuff I'm bookmarking separately.
