The first sessions will be online and are open to interested Secondary PGCE students. Opportunities for similar support for primary PGCE students are being investigated. 

These sessions will be held on teams and you can join using your university email address using the code k0vvt87. If you do not have your university email by the date of the meeting you can join the meeting using the link in the table above.
