Hello and thank you for the tips! I was wondering if you could share, or recommend where to find PGCE materials to study prior to when the program starts?
Cheers!

Thank you for this, i'm doing my pgce now and it's been great but pretty overwhelming. Since uni have only been online now because of covid it's been really hard to make friends and I've felt quite lonely! Your information and your recent evidence bundle video has helped me to relax a bit :)

Hey there! This video was so helpful, I'm about to apply to do my PGCE (unsure whether to do it university or school direct) but because I don't have any school experience I'm concerned about lesson planning etc - when you said get resources from Twinkle (and you mentioned a couple of others, didn't catch them) are these including lesson plans? I know il find out a lot more when I actually start but the thought of completely planning 100s of lessons from scratch is really worrying me I wouldn't know where to start 😂 xx

Thank you. I found this very useful and practical advice.

The making friends thing just hasn't happened this year unfortunately. All lectures are online so none of us have met before and even if you get put in the same school as someone you never see them due to classes being kept apart.
