Overview

We offer our students an exceptional training experience – if you’re looking for a lifelong, challenging and exciting career, teaching may be for you.

During the training year you will engage with and be exposed to a range of different pedagogical approaches to enable you to become an outstanding history teacher. As a part of our distinctive and ambitious curriculum you will understand and apply your knowledge of:

  • Enquiry-Based Learning in History.
  • Scholarship in History Education.
  • The use of Initial Stimulus Material to promote curiosity and a love of learning.
  • The importance of providing all young people with a rich and diverse history curriculum to enable them to make personal connections to the past.

The PGCE will provide you with the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of key stage 3, 4 and 5 and will prepare you to adopt a range of assessment and behavioural strategies to support pupil progress.

Your subject knowledge workshops will support you to expand your history knowledge and develop a teaching toolkit to support effective learning. You will master skills to be able to teach key historical concepts such as: change and continuity; cause and consequence; interpretation and source analysis. You will also explore contemporary issues such as decolonising the history curriculum. You will be encouraged to reflect on up-to-date research on the latest pedagogy, making critical evaluations and considering how it might influence your ongoing practice.

You’ll be supported by a range of experienced professionals, both during school placements and by academic staff at the university. The programme aims to help you become an engaging and effective teacher within the 11–16 age range, and provides the input and opportunities that could enable you to teach post-16.

We were founded as a teaching college 175 years ago, and following the introduction of new quality requirements, our Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), have successfully achieved reaccreditation in 2022 by the Department of Education.

Our ITT courses have also recently been rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, with inspectors highlighting their ‘unique’ emphasis on sustainability and the University’s strong partnership with schools.
