Read about the success of Initial Teacher Training at UEL
The University of East London is officially one of the top-rated education institutions for secondary teacher training and the Secondary PGCE programme was the first programme in London to be awarded Grade 1, the maximum possible score for quality by Ofsted, the Government's Office for Standards in Education.We were then awarded Grade 1 again in the following year. We have also a Grade 1 for our Modern Foreign Languages training.
Following the Ofsted inspection in February 2008, we have been given a Grade 1 (Outstanding) once again for Management and Quality Assurance of our Secondary programme and additionally Ofsted have stated that Secondary training is Grade 1 (Outstanging) too. This makes us a Category A provider.
Below is a list of key strengths identified by Ofsted in the report.
Key strengths
During 2007, UEL’s Primary and Post Compulsory provision passed their Ofsted inspections with flying colours, with management and quality assurance rated as of good quality. Our Continuing Professional Development for teachers is also rated as good quality.
This summer, over a hundred new secondary teachers trained at UEL’s Cass School of Education begin their careers at local schools. This group included the first group of nineteen teachers who have qualified from UEL’s Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Physical Education (PE). Many of the newly qualified teachers take up their new jobs in July in local schools before the start of term in September each year.
The University of East London is rapidly expanding its teacher training programmes, with over 410 places available on PGCE programmes starting in September each year.
A trainee teacher from Plaistow has been awarded the top grade in the recent OFSTED inspection. Karine Buffon, who is training to be a French teacher at Eastlea Community School in Canning Town, not only impressed the inspectors, but her 'savoir faire' and 'joie de vivre' have made her a hit with her colleagues and students alike.
