Salaried PGCE
If you are a graduate, the Salaried PGCE programme allows you to train as a teacher in maintained schools while still earning a living.
You study for your PGCE part-time via the Open University while working in a school, receiving a salary from the school in which you are based. The level of salary to be paid by the school is agreed by the governing body and may be at a rate based on the scales for either qualified or unqualified teachers, but must be no lower than the minimum salary grade for unqualified teachers. If you are on this scheme, you are not eligible for the training bursary, outlined above. The school receives a grant to support the cost of your training, as well as a contribution to your salary. You cannot apply for student support or the incentive bursaries above via this route.
