Course summary

Why choose PGCE English with Drama at Middlesex?

Language is at the heart of everything we do. It sustains thought, it provides clarity of instruction and it develops community. As an excellent communicator, this is your chance to strengthen young people’s English skills through writing, reading, and spoken language. Whether chairing a lively debate, navigating a class through a complex Shakespeare extract, or developing authentic writing for real audiences, you will become an inspiring influence for all pupils.

On the PGCE English with Drama (QTS) course, we are passionate about language and literature in all its forms. We will equip you with the skills and experience necessary to both educate and inspire secondary English and drama pupils. In English, you will explore language, literature, expression and the role of communication. In drama, you will learn how to engage pupils through both the practical and theoretical nature of lessons.

Our ambitious curriculum has fully embedded the Core Content Framework for Initial Teacher Training to develop strong English subject knowledge and pedagogy – with the additional experience of teaching drama at KS3. Through interactive workshops, tutorials and seminars this one-year full-time course enables you to meet the national Teachers’ Standards for the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with English as the main subject and drama as a second subject area.

This is an alternative pathway for training teachers who wish to teach both English and Drama. If you are interested in doing one subject in isolation read more about
