Study Details: 1 year Full time
In collaboration with the PGCE English (QTS) and PGCE Drama (QTS) programmes we offer an alternative pathway for training teachers who wish to teach both English and Drama.
Language is at the heart of everything we do. It sustains thought; it provides clarity of instruction and develops community. As an excellent communicator, this is your chance to strengthen young people’s English skills through writing, reading, and spoken language. Whether chairing a lively debate or navigating a class through a complex Shakespeare extract, or developing authentic writing for real audiences, you will become an inspiring influence for all pupils.
We normally require a second-class honours degree 2:2 or above supported by a strong A Level in English language or literature or equivalent. Your degree subject should ideally be in English with a background in drama, for example a drama A-Level or experience of using drama in work-based settings. If this is not the case, you’ll need to prove your subject knowledge in some other way. You may be asked to complete Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) training prior to starting the course.
Further requirements
The following requirements are set out in the Initial Teacher Training Criteria document. You must have:
GCSE grade C / grade 4 or above in English and Mathematics or be retaking them this year. We also accept the equivalency tests by Equivalency Testing, A Star Teachers or any other appropriately accredited provider. We cannot accept functional skills or key skills or IELTS
been subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service enhanced disclosure check and/or any other appropriate background check
To strengthen applications, it is recommended that you have obtained, or have set up to obtain, recent and relevant experience within state secondary school settings in England.

You will critically evaluate the effectiveness of a wide range of resources and your own lesson plans. You will analyse research data and critically evaluate how research has contributed to the knowledge and understanding of how to teach English effectively.
