PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

I have so much love for my lecturer right now. I submitted my form last night (2100) and he's already done my reference.

Yeh my personal tutor was very quick, too. Aren't they awesome! Just waiting for the head teacher of the school I volunteered at, now!

I know my personal tutor was really fast too, he did in like two hours. I think my headteacher reference is going to take a while, because it's sort of going via the teacher I know and then the headteacher, and I e-mailed the teacher last night just to say it may be easier if she gets the username and password off the head and does it herself, but I don't think the head has done anything yet

I think I'm going to be very cheeky and email the head and ask her if she can get it done today... I have my skills tests booked for Monday and obviously can't do them if I don't get this app sent off properly! If she doesn't do it by tomorrow, I'm going to have to rebook them. Boooo!

Also, she hasn't even 'accepted' the email yet!

Does anyone know why it is saying i don't have the science requirements, even though i got 2 c's in science?! X

Good luck everyone!


Quick question....I want to apply for Schools Direct through the University of Gloucestershire...but it's not even coming up on the search, let alone showing it's open. When I search for Schools Direct programmes it comes up with a list of schools..is this right or am I looking in the wrong place? The school I work at now takes Schools Direct students through the Uni of Gloucestershire, so that would be ideal, but I can't find it! Any help would be appreciated. xxx

Both references received and sent off!! Eeeeeeek! The waiting begins! Good luck, guys!!

^^I'm applying for Primary too. Just sorting my references. Who have you used as yours? Where are you applying? :-)

An academic tutor as my first referee, then one of my previous summer camp employers from America. Funnily enough he did his first and with the time difference it worked out about 8 am there, was rather surprised as i thought that would be last to come in!

How about you? Where are you applying ?

I have asked my personal tutor from uni and my manager from work. I wanted a reference from my school experience but timing meant that was a little difficult. Going to speak to a class teacher Monday though and see what she says -sending my application Monday evening.

I am applying to Derby, Nottingham Trent and Leicester. You?

How long are you guys giving your references until you nudge them along a bit? I don't want to seem inpatient, but since some courses may close in two weeks, I want to send it off!

I was wondering the same, I sent a nice email to mine yesterday when I submitted it just confirming I had done so, and any probs to let me know, just a matter of waiting i guess :/

That's exactly what I did. I think if we were allowed to just get the teacher to do it and not the head, mine would have gone by now. I'm just waiting on him, he seems a bit slow and forgetful . May give them a nudge if it gets towards late next week.
