PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

I did yes. Choosing between there and Derby now. Leaning towards Derby as that was my first choice, but the interview at Trent was quite enjoyable and the staff were lovely.

Aww welldone! Congrats! On the letter for Trent it says something about a group presentation? ..Do they just give u the issue on the spot?..do u remember what kind of issues were given?

wooo i got an offer from UEL my first choice, i just need to pass the literacy part of the skills test. im debating whether to go to my greenwich interview this friday.

So I'm unbelievably frustrated right now. Applied for a PGCE in Secondary English, which I understand is an already highly competitive course for places as it is. I'm still waiting on references after submitting my application over 3 weeks ago. I got a very good reference from the teacher whose school I run an after school club in, however I am still awaiting my Uni tutors!

I have been pestering her all week. I went to her on Monday; "I'll do this today." Went to her yesterday "Yes, I'm just doing it now." It's reaching midday now, and nothing. I have explained to her that I've been told most courses fill up at the end of January at the latest. I'm being polite as possible, but it's getting me nowhere. I am basically helpless since she is the only tutor that really knows me personally and since I'm still at University I have to give an academic reference. I applied late in the year as it is, and now I've pretty much resigned myself to not getting a place. I may not have even if my reference had got in on time, but it certainly doesn't help.

Would a suitable education issue be the what the next conservative manifesto will say? 9-6 school days and 7 weeks holiday for the whole year?

I've got a conditional offer for Greenwich Primary too! Accepted it- now just have to pass the maths skills test!

Congratulations on your offer

I would say length of school day or timings of school holidays are both suitable issues that are being discussed a lot lately. Just make sure to look at different opinions on them.

My UCAS says 'conditional' so does that mean conditional offer!!!??

Sorry I just want to check as I'm so confused because it's from Cambridge and I thought my interview went awfully! But it would be 'unsuccessful' otherwise right...? I just thought it would say 'conditional offer' or something instead of just 'conditional' though.

Sorry... I'm just... shocked!!! Also they said it would take another week for a reply - really worried they've done it wrong or something and got me mixed up with someone!!

Pretty sure that's a conditional offer! Well done!
You should be able to click on it and it will explain what the conditions are, although I had to wait for my confirmation letter to see the conditions of my offer.

Yes it is click on the red part and it will give you details of the conditions. Congrats ! xx

Thank you both! Just worked it out! It says I need to wait for a letter to find out the conditions though
I'm so happy! Someone thinks I'm suitable to be a teacher! This has been such a long time coming I'm so excited!!! I'm still worried I've been mixed up with someone else! I will be less worried when I get the actual letter though

Haha I was exactly the same! I kept logging on to track to check it was still there.. least you can relax now! bring on September 😃
