You will focus on teaching the primary curriculum and will receive high-quality training in partnership with local schools to build your classroom experience. This is achieved through the study of knowledge, skills and attitudes required in the teaching profession, the fundamentals of the national curriculum and a dedicated focus on the development of your understanding of the role of the primary teacher.
In addition, you will gain vital hands-on experience of working within the classroom through our 120-day school placement programme, which will develop your confidence and competence to teach effectively. As part of the PGCE course, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of inclusive practice to meet the needs of all learners. After successful completion, you will be recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) so that you can begin working as a teacher in a primary school.

We will consider applicants who are taking the relevant GCSEs whilst applying.
We would normally expect applicants to have taken and passed the full GCSE course, however in some circumstances we do accept equivalent qualifications or equivalency tests. Please note, however, that we are unable to accept Level 2 Functional Skills courses that do not cover the full breadth of a GCSE.
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
