Plymouth University PGCE Primary/Early Years 2014/2015

I had my interview the other day and just got offered a place in PGCE Primary at Plymouth University starting in september 2014!

Is anyone else starting here in september on either the primary or the early years course?

All the best to anyone who's applying!

Yes! Plymouth is my first choice and hopefully I will be attending (just waiting on my skills tests).
Do you know where you are staying?

Well I got in touch with the guy who runs this website:

He was really nice and is waiting to see if I can get a group of four or five PGCE or postgrads together to live in one of his properties. Let me know if anyone's interested! Would be nice to live with some other PGCE students :smile:

Hello! Been hoping to get into contact with other people who have been offered places at Plymouth. I have just passed my QTS tests so I am now able to get really excited. Anyone else planning on commuting from Exeter?

Hey! I have my QTS tests in the next week but I have been offered a place on the Primary Education and I will be commuting from Teignmouth which is 10 miles away from Exeter. Currently at Exeter University so I am used to the commuting!

Hi sian, good luck with your qts tests! I must admit I found doing the practice ones loads made it much easier during the real one. I know Teignmouth! The train to Plymouth goes through there, glad someone else is commuting! I've spoken to someone else who is commuting from Cornwall so sounds like it's quite common to commute from different places. What are you studying at the moment? I finished uni last year and have been working as a Teaching Assistant!

Hey, well done!

I'm looking for accommodation down there too.
I was going to apply through student pad once the offer (hopefully) turns to unconditional and see if any other pgce/postgrads were doing the same :smile:

Thanks the response! Where are you hopefully heading there from?

Do they turn to unconditional once we get our degree results?

That sounds like a good idea! haha :smile:

Also have you done the professional skills test yet?

I don't know really, I'm not sure how that student pad thing works haha! What are you planning to do?
I think our offer turns to unconditional once we've gotten our grades, done enough hours in schools and passed the professional skills tests (the maths one was a challenge!). Have you done them yet?

I did have a brief look on student pad, it confused me haha! My friend is doing a paramedic course in Plymouth and he said that a Facebook page was set up for his course and he found housemates through that? so that might be an idea...

I've done enough hours yes, but they were in a secondary school so I have to do 10 days in a primary before July :biggrin:

I've literally just booked the skills test! its on June 3rd, Im awful at Maths :frown:

any revision tips haha?!

Lew :smile:

Hi Sian, Congratulations on passing the Maths, one step closer! Good luck with your Literacy! Oh right, are you nearly at the end of your degree now? I am glad I have spoken to a few people who commute as I was a bit worried I would be the only one!
