Secondary English PGCE

Hi,

I've recently accepted a place to study the Secondary English PGCE at Hope for September 2018. I was wondering if anybody else was doing the same course?😊

Hi Erin,

I have accepted my place at Hope for the English PGCE! Where are you from?

Hey! I'm so sorry I've only just seen your reply. Finally found someone doing the same course as me😂 I'm from Ellesmere Port, it's near Chester but I'm currently studying in Bangor😊Where are you from?😊

No problem, I’m from Ireland (Co.Armagh)! I was looking for a Facebook group for our course but one mustnt be made yet! Have you sorted your accommodation yet?

Ooh moving quite far then😊 Yeah I don't think there is one tbh😂 I've been offered a place in St Michael's Hall I'm just waiting to pay the deposit😊Have you?

Awh very good! I’m looking at private accommodation because halls seems so strict on guests 😅 haven’t a clue where to look though!

Yeah they do seem really strict, I'm hoping they'll be more lax but I'm not sure tbh😂 It might be worth emailing someone at the university for more advice on private accommodation?😊

Yeah good idea actually! I’m looking for other PGCE students to live with cause I don’t want to end up living with first years! Plus it would be good to live with others on the same course. How are you feeling for starting? 🙂

Yeah that's definitely a good idea😊 St Michael's is supposed to be postgrad only so I'm hoping I'll avoid the first years😂 Slightly apprehensive as I've heard it's very intense but at the same time I can't wait to start😊You?😊

Yeah that’s the good thing about halls, you will be living with all post grads! Im the same, can’t wait to start but I’m more nervous about living in Liverpool than doing the actual PGCE lol I’ve a good bit of experiences in schools, so it’s more so the move over that I’m scared off!

I’ll be starting pgce in English starting in September. I’ve already sussed out the accommodation and moving into st Michaels hall. I believe it’s just postgrad students in there. Good to see a few from Ireland gonna be about. My name is Conall from Belfast.

Also, does anyone know when we should be booking flights and moving over for? Would be good to know ASAP .

(Original post by Lara5)If you're staying in St Michaels then your contract starts on 1st September At least that's when my contract starts...
I’m in 52 A I believe, looking forward to it, just got word I’m getting the bursary which will be nice
