Our bespoke Subject Specialist Studies (SSS) programme will focus on building your knowledge of the Mathematics national curriculum and support your teaching during your placements.There is a national shortage of mathematics teachers (1).

When you successfully complete your PGCE and school-based training, you can be recommended for the award of QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).

If this is not in a subject aligned to mathematics then you may be required to complete a Subject Knowledge Enhancement Programme (SKE) to ensure you meet the minimum subject expertise to begin your Initial Teacher Training. A further skills audit will identify subject specialist skills and will inform your action plan for your training programme.
