Secondary Education History PGCE Ages 11 to 16

at University of Gloucestershire

Emphasis is placed on strategies such as learning through enquiry, fieldwork, and historical scholarship to ensure you are well prepared to successfully teach and motivate pupils in the contemporary classroom. You will explore all areas of the History National Curriculum, considering transitions between phases. You will be encouraged and guided to become confident with designing your own ambitious History curriculum to prepare students for the changing world in which we live.

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. Successfully completing this PGCE course will enable you to teach at Secondary age, as well as Primary and A Level.
