Help finding school w early start of autumn term

[Teacher2be]

Hi,
My PGCE course requires a primary school observation before the start of the course, but I haven’t found a school in/near London that starts in late August or at the latest has students in class by 1 September 2022. From what I have seen, they all have inset on 1 and 2 September.
Does anyone know of any primary school that begins its autumn term a bit earlier?
Thank you.

Leicestershire!!

Scotland? Bit far from London though 🤷

Why have they required the impossible of you? They don't go back that early in London, so you won't find one I'm afraid. I think you're just going to need to tell them you haven't been able to do it, there's not much to be done unless they find you one. Were you supposed to do the placement this term? Have you applied for the PGCE late? If the latter, I can't see how they can expect you to do it now.
