Teacher training in the heart of London
Experience the amazing benefits of living in London and working in the capital’s diverse and exciting schools.
ÂÒÂ×Ðã's Secondary teacher training programmes will support you to become a highly successful and confident subject-specialist teacher.
Our graduates are subject specialists, excelling in cutting-edge understandings of how to teach their subject.
They are independent, critically reflective professionals, not beholden to any singular pedagogy, approach or doctrine. They are collaborative and confident experts, committed to furthering the opportunities of every child in diverse London schools and beyond.
We have around 300 diverse and high-quality school partnerships to maximise your growth as a teacher.
We also offer some Secondary PGCE programmes through the IOE's Lead Partner Direct route. Â
We design our flagship Secondary PGCE around your needs as you learn to teach one of 18 specific subjects in secondary settings. 80% of your sessions at the Institute are led by subject specialists and taught in subject-specialist cohorts or tutor groups – modelling contemporary approaches to teaching and learning so you see and experience how to embed these in your practice.
These are complemented by our Institute Professional Studies strand, including our flagship ‘Debates in Education’ sessions which enable you, together with educational professionals, academics and commentators, to debate and ‘think big’ about key educational issues in a range of discursive formats.
Lastly, focused ‘directed study’ days give you dedicated time to reflect on and consolidate your learning. We embed constructive dialogue into your PGCE – from extensive formative assignment feedback through to a community of peers, teachers, mentors and tutors with whom you will forge new understandings of how to help children learn to their potential and develop your own abilities to navigate a successful career.
