I'm doing my PGCE and am starting to look at jobs for next year. I was a TA before, on about £1200 take home pay, which was tight but I got by. At the minute I'm on a cushy tax free bursary (the biggest one going), a lot of which has been going straight into a savings account for a house deposit. I've looked into my salary (M1) for next year and it's going to be about £1000 less a month! (side note: I really do appreciate the bursary, but it's not why I went into teaching). I'm not at all moaning, I'll be very grateful to have an NQT position next year and crack on with it, but I can imagine the NQT year to be quite demoralising in financial terms - more work for less pay! What are your opinions on the training bursaries?
