I need some advice on a situation I am currently in. September 2020 I enrolled onto a PGCE course. On my first placement I withdrew because I was being treated unfairly by the staff and I felt uncomfortable returning within that environment. On my second placement, I was put on a NTI towards the end of my placement and was told I have failed so I would have to resit.
Therefore in October I started my resit placement and I have been told again I have failed placement. I have passed the PGCE but I am not being awarded the qts. The reason is I had covid back in November so I missed 10 days of my placement. Then I came back and last week I missed 5 days due to a severe ear infection due to a perforated ear drum. I had a meeting with my tutors and was told I could not return to the school because it was affecting the children due to my “erratic absences”. Which is stupid because I cannot help being unwell. So I have been told I cannot do another resit placement because there are no mitigating circumstances.
I was wondering if anyone had any advise of what I can do to get my QTs. I think it is shocking they have told me I have to pass PGCE without QTs! I am currently ongoing to appeal this situation as I believe this is unfair.
