PGCE Lead Partner Route - Primary and Secondary

What is Lead Partner Route?

We are ranked in the top 3 universities in London for the quality of our research in the field of Education (REF 2021), reflecting the world-class expertise of our staff.

Lead Partner Route is a government-led initiative that seeks to place schools at the centre of Initial Teacher Education (ITE). Working with University of Roehampton, our partner schools take a leading role in recruiting trainee teachers and in designing and delivering the training programme. 

There are two possible routes if you are thinking of training via Lead Partner Route:

Lead Partner Route (salaried)

This is open to high quality graduates, principally to people coming to teaching from other careers or those who may already have experience of working in a school setting. Applications are made to individual schools or alliances of schools, rather than to Roehampton. The schools pay a salary based on that of an unqualified teacher, but there is not government bursary paid for secondary specialisms that woud attract a bursary on the non-salaried routes.
