Secondary PGCE pre-course tasks

This site is a landing page for information and guidance relating to the pre-course tasks for the Secondary PGCE cohort 2025-26. 

The goal of these tasks is to help you get a head start on some of the kinds of thinking and ideas we will be looking at in our September teaching block and beyond. They aren't essential, because we're aware that not every student will have the time or capacity to complete these tasks prior to the start of the course. Rather, they are something to help those who have the chance to engage with them get to grips with the kinds of things we will be doing on the course itself.

For a general introduction to these tasks and how to complete them, please watch the video below. For more detail about each task individually, please use the navigation drop-down menu at the top of the page.
