PGCE Primary

UCL (University College London)

UCL works in partnership with around 300 primary schools to enable Primary PGCE students to develop the knowledge and skills they need to become a primary teacher. We welcome a wide range of students each year to the Primary PGCE course and traditionally under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply. Our cohorts are typically very diverse, reflecting school communities across London. Our Primary PGCE develops effective, confident teachers whose classroom practice is informed by an advanced knowledge of educational theory, and who will continue to learn and reflect throughout their careers. We will help students to acquire the skills and expertise to support children's learning, prepare them to teach in an inclusive urban environment, provide professional development in all national curriculum subjects and ensure that students show a concern for professional values and demonstrate the positive attitudes and behaviour expected from pupils.
