Course summary

Developed in partnership with schools and early years settings, our Primary teacher training programmes will support you to become an innovative and inspiring teacher. Our full time programmes last for approximately 40 weeks. Youll spend about two thirds of this time in a school or educational setting. Throughout the teacher training programme there is a dynamic relationship between your training in the University and your training in schools.

While youre a Bath Spa Teacher, youll explore models of teaching and the many ways in which children learn. Emphasis is placed on how parents and carers, families, schools and communities can impact childrens learning and well-being. When you complete your Initial Teacher Training, youll be fully qualified to teach, with the essential knowledge, skills and confidence that youll need to be successful in the classroom.
