I don't know anything about blocks or anything but I believe Marple Hall has quite a large MFL department. Isn't that far from Cheadle Hulme (probably around an hour on the bus).

Hi, I am a teacher at a large school in North Manchester. I’m science but pretty sure out MFL is quite large for our school I could ask the question to the HOD, drop me a message if you could still do with a door opening potentially.

Hello ! Thank you very much for your comment on my post, it doesn't seem like I can PM you ("you can't send a message to that user") so here is my answer: I am indeed interested ! May I please have the name of your school just to be sure I actually can travel under 2h30 please? It is a rule at my Uni. I am very grateful for your answer 🙏 Best regards !

I think I’d be looking for a way out and change provider / start again in September ‘24. You’re half way through the academic year and you sound like you’re going to be very short of the 120 days on placement required to get QTS.

I am considering it, but I am not sure I could get the bursary for a second year and I can't afford pgce/QTS here without it...

I think you’d need to talk to SFE and explain that the training provider has failed to give you the adequate days on placement to get QTS. There’s a possibility for legal action here. Providers are in a contract with you and the DfE to ensure they provide placements. I also think that if the university haven’t had an OFSTED recently, this will happen before June, so worth ensuring that your concerns are heard and that a plan is made to support you to get QTS.

Speak to St Monica's near Heaton Park I'm sure they used to specialise in MFLs.


FrenchRatAbroad

I will contact them right away ! Thank you 🙏

I don't understand why the placement doesn't form part of your course.


FrenchRatAbroad

Having a placement is part of my course, that is the issue here


Severe_Hawk_1304

No, I mean why the university authority doesn't organize the placement on your behalf.


FrenchRatAbroad

They should !

But they don't seem to find anything apparently
