PGCE applications = my time to shine! My job is dealing with PGCE Secondary applications. The best starting point is getting some school experience - this is something you'll be asked about at an interview, so it does help enormously if you have some experience to discuss. Most schools are happy to let people visit for a few days, provided you have a clean DBS. A good place to start is the Get Into Teaching website, who can help arrange some placements: https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/ Funding - you can get the usual maintenance and tuition fee loans through Student Finance, and it'll just be added onto your existing undergraduate debt. You probably also qualify for a bursary - this year it's £15,000 for English (paid in monthly instalments for as long as you remain on the course). There's no funding for PGCE Media, and those courses are rare - you're best focusing on English. You'll be looking at an interview for a place on the course, and that interview will look at your subject knowledge in greater depth. Take a look at the BBC Bitesize website ( https://www.bbc.com/bitesize/subjects/zt3rkqt ) as even if you don't have much school experience, you'd still be expected to know about the National Curriculum and gives you an idea of the authors / texts you'll need to be familiar with. You'll also be asked about classroom management (how you'd cope with kids being shits, there are some real teachers on here who might be able to help there), personal resilience, that kind of stuff. In terms of academic qualifications, you need a 2:2 or higher, plus GCSE English Language and Maths at Grade C or better. The other thing it might be worth thinking about is a Subject Knowledge Enhancement course - these are online courses aimed at people wanting to teach but don't have a degree fully in their chosen subject. You get a bursary for doing one, but you have to have an offer of a place on a PGCE first. More info (and this is the one we point people towards): https://www.tes.com/institute/subject-knowledge-enhancement-ske Put something in your UCAS personal statement about your willingness to take one, it'll help! Applications cost a quid this year, through UCAS. Go for it!

South West, which is bang on as I was raised in Devon and now live in Somerset.

Because he isn't Paul Gascoigne.

He was in a Chamber match the following year that Cena won, just before Mania 26. He made a big deal of looking behind himself constantly during his entrance, which I thought was a nice touch. I don't think he's ever had a 1v1 for the title, though.

Excellent logic, but Kofi vs Bryan sounds more like a place-filler at Fast Lane whilst the proper SD names have some kind of multi-man match to set up the No 1 contender for Mania.

Just scored myself a VIP ticket for Daniel Bryan on the Saturday afternoon. On a related topic, anyone want to buy a GA ticket for Saturday afternoon?

Yes! I remember that episode - the kid was a dick to his mother and beat her up. He was looking at a 25 year sentence and ended up being a submissive in the slammer as it was the only way he was going to survive. Him talking to the kids was one of the realist, most upsetting things I've seen in years.

Randy Orton. Or Roman Reigns.

Yes.

Got a GA ticket for Saturday afternoon. I'll try again on Friday with everyone at work trying to get a VIP one.
