Our School Based Alliances
We work in partnership with approximately 24 schools on our PGCE Primary Education with QTS (School Based) course, across primary settings. Each of these schools is part of a School Based Alliance, which is led by a lead school.
You'll apply to a PGCE School Based alliance and following a successful interview, you'll be placed in one of their host schools. You'll have an additional placement in one of the partner schools within the alliance.
