With your idea of “mentally stable” Andrew does that mean he doesn’t suffer from depression or anything any more? Just curious x

Well, let’s say more mentally stable. At least compared to before (which isn’t saying much).

Hi! Have you got any tips for the PGCE personal statement? At the moment I'm studying for an English Language degree and am applying for the PGCE primary programme next week. I'm very excited but nervous about the interview too :(

Hello there! So pleased you are applying for a PGCE primary course and glad you are excited for it!

Here’s a post I previously wrote about general PGCE application tips. The personal statement part really should showcase the skills you have gained from your relevant experience (and why they would make you a good teacher), how your degree experiences will help your teaching/be an effective teacher and your statement should show your enthusiasm to learn, be a leader and have great team working and time management skills.

Draw from your previous experiences volunteering, getting involved in volunteering projects, working with children or working in the classroom as much as you can - most PGCE course value your past experience and what you have learnt from it more than anything else!

As for the interview side of things, most involve some sort of formal interview, presentation, additional tests, group work etc... but tbh as long as you answer your formal interview questions well, then you’ll be bound to get a place, as this part of the interview is weighted more highly than the rest.

Let me know how you get on! I hope this answer has helped you out a bit :)
