Key Stage 2/Key Stage 3 English Education with QTS
I've been looking at the different routes in to teaching English at secondary level, and ideally wanted to do a PGCE after getting a BA in English.
The main "deciding factor" as to which courses/Universities to persue is how much "real world practice" I can get in my first 3 years. Mainly because of how practical teaching is, and therefore experience is essential when it comes to doing an ITT course.
I was just wondering if anyone on here knew of how well this course relates to the secondary curriculum, and whether it would allow me to teach beyond year 9/KS3? Or is it mainly aimed at teachers working in middle schools?

I about to start the science course. I asked and they said that some some will employ you to teach to a higher standard. But some will require you to go a PGCE if you wanted to teach secondary.

I do this course but science, first year we do 4 weeks in primary, second year we do 6 weeks primary, 7 weeks secondary and then third year 5 weeks in both. This is actually more work experience than the secondary qts degree, but working in primary. Though you will still be learning and gain a lot from it even though its not the age you wish to teach.
