PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

I sent my UCAS off start of December and I still haven't heard from BGU in Lincoln. Has anyone had an offer of an interview/place there?

I had my interview there on 12th Dec and have got an offer-have you not heard back from them at all yet? try giving them a ring to see if you can ask about the status of your application. A few people have been saying they have interviews there recently though so fingers crossed for you

Does anyone know whether we can write anything on our white board (just before we click start on the numeracy test)? For example a timestable or common percentage/fraction/decimals conversions on the corner or is that considered cheating?

You are not permitted to write anything before the practice question

Had an email from Exeter today saying that they would like to invite me for interview on the 22nd but that before they interview me on the 22nd they want me to gain more school experience by the 20th... being that the 20th is Monday that means I need to have done this by the weekend... does anybody else think this is a bit unreasonable?

Just got an email with a conditional offer from Warwick University for a Primary PGCE!! :smile:

I can relax a bit more when I have my last interview this Wednesday now! Anyone else got an offer from them yet?

I spoke too soon - received an interview offer an hour after I posted on here! Hopefully I'll be seeing you in September then :biggrin:

Just had interview at Sunderland for secondary English.

It was fun but tough and think others managed the pressure better but we shall see!

It turned out twice as long as the two hours they suggested I be prepared for mind!

Congratulations! I have my interview next week - was just wondering what you thought of the process?! Not asking for specifics obv. How did you find the group discussion etc?

I'm going for primary with science!

Yes that does sound rather unreasonable. Unless you're already volunteering at a school and can fit in some more sessions this week then I don't see how they expect you to get this experience? Also, if you're in full-time education or employment then how are you supposed to fit it in? Do you have any contacts in schools that you could call this week?

Has anyone had an interview at BCU and heard back from them yet? My husband had an interview there last Weds but track still doesn't even say interview, let alone the outcome

Is there a list anywhere of the schools that take part in the pcge for each Uni? (Hope that makes sense!)

EDIT : in case anyone else wondered about this, the schools direct/scitt places list their schools which is handy :smile:

That information would come from the uni itself and is unlikely to be available at this point. Things change in schools quite a lot - people go on unexpected maternity leave, get new jobs, become sick etc. Plus OfSTED visits and changes the school's rating! And they may need to hire NQTs which they need to support when they expected more experienced teachers.

So with all that, all placements have to be confirmed very close to the start date. Of course the uni will have some schools which they work with a lot and have good links with, but they can never be sure if they will take students this year so I think they'd be unlikely to provide a list.

Ah okay thank you. I can understand why they wouldn't release a list, but a catchment area type map would be handy!

I applied at the end of November, beginning of December and it took them ages to get back to me so I wouldn't worry! 😀

They'd probably let you know the areas that most of their schools usually fall into if you asked.

I know when I filled in the pre-start paperwork in the summer before I started I had to select some preferred postcode areas from a map but it was pretty much just a map of the county that my uni is in lol.
