Maternity Allowance whilst a student

Hi all,
I am currently working full time and have been for the last 5 years. However, I am starting a PGCE in September and I wanted to know where I stood if I fell pregnant. I would plan to take a year out of university and return the following year to complete my course. I wondered whether I would be able to claim maternity allowance during this time?
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can offer...

Difficult to say - it depends on when you become pregnant.
