"I would highly recommend studying PGCE Secondary Maths at Chichester.
It is a great course and prepares you really well for your NQT year.  The staff
are all very committed and supportive.  The written tasks are thorough, but
not excessively onerous which allows you to concentrate on developing your teaching skills."
