Initial Teacher Education

This is the place where you’ll be supported but challenged so that you can thrive as a teacher. This is the place where you’ll experience a diverse school partnership network of over 150 schools. This is the place where you’ll work with education experts who can guide you to become the teacher you want to be. This is teacher training at the University of Nottingham.

 

The Nottingham PGCE course also places a big emphasis on mental health and well-being, which I believe is of up-most importance, especially during such an intense course. This made me feel like I would be well supported throughout my time here, and this has since been proven right.

I was really well supported by both my school-based mentors during my placements. They were both really well informed about the course and I felt like I could turn to them at any time about any questions, issues, or ideas that I had. My mentors were also both excellent examples to learn from as a trainee teacher. My university tutor was also very supportive when I needed it and the regular feedback that they provided throughout the year was brilliant.
