PGCE Funding and additional help

Options
Hi, so I am looking at doing a maths PGCE and wondering what funding I am entitled to as a single parent. I would be doing the PGCE full time and would have no income. However, I do know I would be entitled to a £25,000 bursary so I'm just wondering if any one knows exactly what of the following I would be entitled to in addition to this. Thanks a lot.

Student finance
You could get per year:

£9,250 Tuition Fee Loan to pay for your course
£8,430 Maintenance Loan to pay living costs
Extra student funding

You could get:

up to £159.59 a week (1 child) or up to £273.60 a week (2 or more children) Childcare Grant
up to £1,617 per year Parents’ Learning Allowance
Child Tax Credit
Funding for teacher training
