"summary": "This is for you if... you have a degree and would like to train to teach 11-18 year-olds as part of the Lead Partners scheme.\n\nLead Partners was introduced in 2012 and allows schools to recruit students onto teacher education courses run in collaboration with universities. To make sure you have a range of placement opportunities, schools work together in Teaching Alliances.\n\nThis course is made up of both campus-based sessions - which will give you a grounding in the principles of good teaching practice - and school-based placements giving you the chance to apply your knowledge and experience a wide range of classroom situations. These placements will be in contrasting schools to give you a broad range of experience - they could be in city, suburban or rural schools, in the independent or state sector.\n\nBy the end of the course you will achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and awarded a University of Leicester PGCE.\n\nThe Lead Partners Secondary PGCE is run in partnership with a range of partner schools. You can choose which school you would like to apply for and then submit your application through UCAS.\n\nEach Lead Partners provider school will offer its own unique range of placement experiences and opportunities but will still share most, if not all, the Secondary PGCE Professional Studies Course with the students on our 'core' (University-led) Secondary Education PGCE course, giving you a great opportunity to share experience and practice with other students. Your subject studies will be undertaken together with core PGCE students.\n\nFor up to date information on our Lead Partners partners including contact details, please visit the university website Lead Partners pages.\n\nNot sure which PGCE route is right for you? Have a look at our Routes into Teaching pages on the university website to find out more about PGCE, Lead Partners and SCITT routes.",
