Funding for a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate of Education) in the UK?

Hi. I'm currently in my second year of studies at university, studying for my first degree. At the start of the next academic year (2010-11), I would like to apply to study for a PGCE in secondary education (specialising in English). I know that for the majority of postgraduate study, funding, sponsorship and/or loans are not usually available to cover the costs of studying. I am saving my own funds anyway, but strongly doubt I will have enough to cover tuition fees for a year's postgraduate study. However I have heard that for a PGCE, it is possible to apply for support from the student loans company, and also to receive bursaries and grants, as also at undergraduate level. Is this correct? Or am I misguided? Many thanks.
