PGCE Courses at St Mary's
In the year 2000 we celebrated 150 years in Education, over 50 years of which have been at our present location in Strawberry Hill in south west London. With just under 4,000 students training to teach on primary and secondary, we are now London’s second largest teacher training course provider.
Our course tutors are all skilful teachers themselves, with many years of successful experience in the state primary sector and, in most cases, in Higher Education. They have gained success in managing the learning of students and have built good relationships with partnership schools, mentors and other colleagues, many of whom make valued contributions to the courses in the University College.
St Mary’s Primary and Secondary Initial Education programmes have been judged by OfSTED, the government department that regulates teacher training, to be ‘outstanding’ – the highest grade attainable in an OfSTED inspection.
The programmes were deemed to be outstanding for both ‘overall effectiveness’ and the ‘capacity for further improvement and/or sustaining overall quality’ following the inspection, which was conducted in March 2011.
