PGCE Lead Partner Route - Primary and Secondary

University of Roehampton

Train as a teacher based in a school of your choice, while still gaining a PGCE qualification from Roehampton and qualified teacher status. Lead Partner Route is a government-led initiative that seeks to place schools at the centre of Initial Teacher Education (ITE). Working with University of Roehampton, our partner schools take a leading role in recruiting trainee teachers and in designing and delivering the training programme. There are two possible routes if you are thinking of training via Lead Partner Route: Lead Partner Route (salaried) This is open to high quality graduates, principally to people coming to teaching from other careers or those who may already have experience of working in a school setting. Applications are made to individual schools or alliances of schools, rather than to Roehampton. The schools pay a salary based on that of an unqualified teacher, but there is not government bursary paid for secondary specialisms that woud attract a bursary on the non-salaried routes. Lead Partner Route (tuition fee) This route is open to all high quality graduates. Applications are made to individual schools or alliances of schools, rather than to Roehampton. Secondary trainees are paid bursaries for subjects that attract a bursary.
