Qualification
PGCE with QTS

A postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) with qualified teacher status (QTS) will allow you to teach in state schools in England and may allow you to teach in other parts of the UK.

It may also allow you to teach overseas, though you should always check what qualifications are needed in the country you’d like to teach in.

Many PGCE courses include credits that count toward a Master’s degree.

About the course

Our programme is a primary based programme and runs from September - July during term time. Trainees are in school from Monday to Thursday and then on Friday they have a centre based training session. Trainees are assessed 3 times throughout the year against very clear criteria. We offer a PGCE which is accredited through the University of Winchester. There are currently 4 assignments linked to this route spread across the year. All of our trainees from previous years have secured jobs before leaving the training.

School placements

Trainees are placed in 2 different schools. They start in their preferred age group and then in the 2nd term move to the alternate key stage. In the 3 rd term they return to their first placement. Our programme is 5-11, so from year 1- year 6. We have 12 partnership schools that are infant, junior or primary which are situated in Southampton, Winchester and Diben Purlieu in Hampshire.

About the training provider

The SCITT is an integral part of Hamwic Multi Academy Trust and we see our trainees as the future. We look at our trainees and see future leaders within the Trust. During previous years 100% of trainees said that they would recommend us to others and 100% of our trainees over the past 2 year have had jobs when they completed the programme. Our partnership is made up of Primary, Infant and Junior schools which serve a wide variety of communities. The programme is bespoke and is adaptable where needed to ensure that the needs of our trainees are fully met.

Interview process

Interviews are held at different partnership schools and are attended by Senior Leaders from these schools.

It is a 4 part process that lasts roughly 1/2 day. There will be a range of activities that interviewees will need to undertake including a formal interview, working with children and a written activity.

Training with disabilities and other needs

We are fully supportive of trainees with disabilities. All of our schools are accessible and academic support is available where needed. The well being of our trainees is hugely important and trainees have access to free counselling and a range of on-line resources if needed. There are 1:1 sessions that can be arranged to ensure that our trainees are fully supported throughout the programme.
