After over a month waiting for their response since my interview, I have received an offer for Durham University this week, for English Secondary PGCE! I'm absolutely ecstatic. Anyone else doing this course, say hello :-D Good luck to those who are still waiting.


Congratulations!

I had my interview there last week... Hopefully will hear from them and my other interview soon!

haha thanks. Think I was having a small blonde moment, I automatically assume power point presentation when I read 'presentation'! :colondollar:


Aha yes to be fair my mind goes to PowerPoint when I think presentation. It is only because I wasn't allowed to use PowerPoint at my interview either.

Anybody who has had an interview at Bishop Grot, how long did it take for them to get back to you with a decision?


Hi! I had my interview on Friday just gone and I am desperate to find out! They told us it should be early this week, when did you have yours? And how do you think it went?
:smile:
Still stuck about whether to accept my offer from Manchester University or Manchester Met for secondary English. Any ideas? I need to decide soon!

Anyone else who is going to Bath Spa, there is a Facebook page under Bath Spa Primary 2014-2015, thought it would be a good way to get to know each other before the course starts!

I had mine Thursday, I haven't heard yet. They did say that as it was undergraduate deadline last week it might take a little longer.

I think that will be fine, you still have a few days to prepare which should be okay. I haven't taken my skills tests yet, I've got mine on the 27th and 29th. I don't think it will go against us. I had university exams so would have been a nightmare preparing for those and my uni exams! I attend Anglia Ruskin in Cambridge which hasn't got a very good rep so I wouldn't worry. Just remember they chose us for a reason :-) Yeah if I were you'd I'd stay overnight just to be sure. I have an interview with Oxford Brookes on the 24th and I'm staying overnight. You never know what traffic will be like, etc. What uni are you studying at?


Just wanted to wish you good luck for your interview tomorrow :smile:

Hi All,
Joined just for this thread lol! I had my Newman PGCE interview last week. Just wondering if there's anyone that applied there also and if you have had your interview, how long it was till you heard anything?
Stressing a little as I really want to get in!
Just got notified that I didn't get into Nottingham. Absolutely gutted :frown:
Stuck in an Apply 2 choice for Hull but just feeling so downbeat. It's even the cost of flying over for interviews etc and then the amount of time and effort I put into planning for the interview.

Meh.

I hope they get back to you sooner then they did with my group of interviews! Wishing you all the best. Remind me, were you secondary English too?

I had an interview at Warwick last week for PGCE Primary with Maths. I really enjoyed the group task as it allowed a lot of discussion and involves the group working together rather than one individual taking over. Just make sure you contribute and comment on what others have said and you should be fine :smile: Good luck!

thanks! did you manage to get an offer?

what was the written task like? i dunno if the TSR rules let us talk about it.. but do they give you a extract and you need to state your opinion on it? or is it quite an open question?

I am yes! I think I did well on the day, especially in group interview, but I was very very nervous in my individual. I did get to say lots of good things, I just hope they saw past interview nerves!

I have to have a response by 14th Feb so hopefully won't have to wait too long!

Yes I did and I firmed it last week :smile: I don't think I can say too much based on the rules but the maths bit is what you'd expect and what you suggested the english task might be like is pretty much right. You spend like an hour and a half doing the maths and the english tasks so be prepared to write for a while :tongue: I was suprised I got an offer because I thought I'd completely messed up the English task. Also you may hear that they send people home after the lunch break if they haven't performed well on the tests. This didn't happen on my interview date so try not to worry about it :smile:
