Hi, bit late to the thread!! Haha I've been accepted on to an Early Years PGCE at Sheffield Hallam, school direct route. Passed my QTS exams! Very excited, is anyone else doing this?

Hi! I'm doing the SEN Primary PGCE school direct route at Sheffield Hallam. Do you have welcome/induction days on 5th/6th?

Hi

Has anyone bought a teachers' planner? I'm considering getting one of the Pirongs ones but I'm not sure how useful it will be in my training year.

It'll be as useful as it is to an established teacher. Some use official planners and some use the backs of envelopes. If you're the kind of person who uses this kind of thing, then get one. If not, then tailor make something that suits you better. There's precious little scope for independence in teaching nowadays, so seize one opportunity when it comes along.

I find my planner very useful, so whilst you're working out the sort of teacher you are I would recommend getting one. Try using it for a while once you're teaching, and if it doesn't feel right you'll know not to get one next year.

Very good point, thanks! :biggrin:

Hi meme12. No BG was my first choice and I was very lucky to get accepted on the evening of my interview. I had my interview and was offered the place in February on the condition that I passed my QTS skills tests, which I completed in May 😊 I have an induction day on Monday! Just wondering if anyone else would be studying there or studying art and design?

Hi, I've accepted a place to study a Chemistry PGCE and applied to student finance for a tuition fee loan, is there anything I need to do to ensure I receive the bursary?

No, your course provider sorts that out on your behalf.

Hey!

I need help!

Im due to attend the assessment day with the Royal Society of Chemistry on Monday for the teaching scholarship, however i have come down with (what i believe to be) food poisoning. I emailed them today to explain this as asked if i could attend another assesment day, however i have got nothing back (as its a Saturday i expected this). What do i do? Do you think they will cancel my application because of this, im really worried as i really want this teaching scholarship but there is no way im well enough to make it down to London :frown:

Thank you!

There may be other assessment days (although it is quite late in the year) so I'm sure they'll understand. They may potentially ask for a doctor's note, though, so it may be worth asking for one just in case.
