Welcome to the Primary PGCE at Birmingham Newman University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are delighted that you have chosen to begin your journey into teaching with us. Over the coming academic year, you will develop the knowledge, skills and professional judgement needed to become an effective teacher. However, becoming a teacher is about much more than learning how to plan lessons, assess pupils or manage behaviour. It is also about developing your professional identity: understanding who you are as a teacher and who you aspire to become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Birmingham Newman University, we have a long history of preparing teachers who make a positive difference to the lives of children, families and communities. As you begin your training, we invite you to think not only about what you will learn, but also about the kind of teacher you hope to become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing as a teacher is rarely a straightforward journey. There will be moments of confidence and moments of uncertainty. There will be successes to celebrate and challenges to overcome. What matters is your willingness to learn, reflect, seek support and continue growing. We look forward to welcoming you to Birmingham Newman University and supporting you as you develop into the teacher you aspire to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please remember that all conditions for meeting course entry have to be done by the start of programme. Remind yourself of these conditions and chase anything that you are still outstanding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
