PGCE Science with Physics

In January, you'll complete a second placement in a different school. This will help you deepen your knowledge of how students learn, and extend your practice in helping that learning, in a new context. This long placement - split across stages two and three, from January until June - gives you the chance to develop your practice in a school and with pupils you will get to know really well. This offers an opportunity to make a positive impact on progress in that school. During your second placement, you'll spend at least ten weeks in a new school teaching more lessons, ensuring that you're teaching classes from Key Stages 3 and 4. You'll become a more independent practitioner.
