Following an intense year of study and field experience, over 300 students successfully completed the PGDE programme last week. The year culminated in a very successful student led conference where students presented work from their Further Professional Studies course to their peers and tutors. Following the conference Myra Pearson, Head of the School of Education, congratulated the second cohort of Aberdeen's pioneering combined Primary and Secondary PGDE programme on their successes.

Curriculum for Excellence emphasises the centrality of health and wellbeing to a child's learning. Learning through health and wellbeing promotes confidence, independent thinking as well as positive attitudes and dispositions.
