PGCE Primary Leaflet - Liverpool Hope University
Liverpool Hope is a unique
University by virtue of its rich and
distinctive nineteenth century
foundations. Our long and proud
history of preparing teachers dates
from 1844 when we began to
educate teachers in the Christian
tradition for the rapidly growing
communities of Liverpool and the
wider North West area. Many
of our graduate teachers hold
distinguished careers around the
country and, indeed, elsewhere in
the world.
Course Codes:
Key Stage 1/Key Stage 2 – X100

Our mission is to provide a wellrounded education of the whole
person which is why we consider
our programmes to be Initial Teacher
Education and not merely training.
The Postgraduate Certificate in
Education (PGCE) at Liverpool Hope
University will provide you with a
career entry and development profile
that will stand you in good stead to
develop professionally through your
first year of teaching, as a Newly
Qualified Teacher (NQT), and beyond.
Full details for all our programmes can
be found on our website www.hope.

PGCE Primary
The PGCE Primary courses last 38 weeks, of which you will spend
approximately 20 weeks gaining practical experience in schools. School
experience is divided into periods of serial attachment (one or more days per
week). During these periods you will work in primary classrooms with the
guidance of trained mentors. School and university-based elements of the
course are interlinked.
