Gillingham School is part of the North Dorset Partnership comprised of The Gryphon School, Gillingham School, Shaftesbury School and Sturminster Newton High School. The Partnership works in conjunction with the Mid-Somerset Consortium (MSC) to train suitable candidates for the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). The MSC ITT programme is classed as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.
Most of our placements use the ‘fee paying’ route. Trainees pay tuition fees of £9,000, although some trainees may be entitled to a bursary (dependent on subject and degree class). In exceptional circumstances, there may be the opportunity for trainees to follow the salaries option and any trainee who wishes to discuss this is asked to contact the individual school directly.
