You'll need a degree to do the PGCE, although there are other ways in to teaching as defender has said.
A Secondary PGCE involves around 3 months studies at uni plus 2 school placements of around 3 months each during which you put the theory into practice and are assessed. There are also 3 skills tests to do. You can get a bursary payment of 9,000 for the course, although you'll now have to pay £3,000 or so towards the course fees.
Starting salaries for new teachers are around £21k now, I think, but you may get more if you have some relevant work experience.
