The best part of Staffs is without a doubt the teachers. Not only are they are highly knowledgeable leaders in their fields but they also truly care for each individual student. Having tutors who were kind, thoughtful and helpful made my time at Staffs one of the best years of my life.
A key part of the PGCE course is guest speakers. Staffs arranged (at no small expense) guest speakers of the highest calibre; these lectures were insightful, engaging and funny. Having attended these talks meant that I was at the cutting edge in terms of teaching pedagogy and educational knowledge.These talks are extremely beneficial to include on your CV and make you stand out from the crowd. I am proof of this as I was offered my first teaching job in part because it was mentioned on my CV.
