These placements occur in different school settings to broaden your experience, potentially including urban, suburban, or rural locations within both private and public education systems. The Primary PGCE through School Direct equips you to teach all subjects in the Primary Curriculum. You'll gain understanding of broader educational contexts, including addressing classroom diversity and special educational needs, while developing essential skills in lesson planning and classroom management.
