PGCE

You may be eligible for funding – Leeds Trinity offers a range of bursaries and scholarships, in addition to financial support from the government.  

Thanks to the reputation we’ve developed for the quality of our teacher training, we’ve developed high-quality partnerships with hundreds of schools. We work with a diverse range of schools – from small rural schools to large, inner-city high schools where you will work as part of a multi-professional team.

We recognise that schools in the Yorkshire and the Humber region have specific areas of strength and challenges. We work with 'Outstanding' schools who are leading innovations in education, as well as schools that may have large intakes of vulnerable groups of children or who may have difficulties in reaching outcome targets at the end of key stages. When you train with Leeds Trinity, you will benefit from seeing best practice in school improvement, whichever school you train in.

You’ll be studying at an institution with a strong teacher training history – we’ve been educating teachers for over 50 years and we’re renowned as a leader in this field.

An essential quality of an outstanding teacher is the ability to manage workloads. We’ll prepare you for this by providing you with a toolkit of methods that will help you plan and assess efficiently from day one.

When you join LTU, you’ll be joining a supportive and welcoming student community where everyone is keen to see you succeed. You’ll be given personalised support at every step of your teaching journey, ensuring you have the skills you need to thrive.

Whether you’re learning on campus or you’re in a school full-time, you’ll be able to access our range of support services which include academic skills support from our Learning Hub, help with student finance, support with your school-based training and much more.

Where you choose to train has a long-term impact on your teaching career.

We offer excellent support for teachers in the early stages of their career and have a very strong Early Career Teacher (ECT) programme. We also offer continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for those looking to enhance their teaching career. 

Our PGCEs also have credits towards a Master’s in Education, which you can study at a discounted rate as a Leeds Trinity graduate. This is something which has helped many of our alumni in improving their impact on local schools and in their own career development.
