Course summary

As a primary school teacher, it will be your responsibility to inspire children, give them the basic skills they need for their future and make learning exciting.We’ve designed this course to help you understand how children learn. You’ll develop the skills you need to make sure your students get the best start.Throughout your training, you’ll get hands-on experience on placement, join professional studies sessions, and attend curriculum workshops.From getting the most out of your induction, to tips on teaching your first lesson, your personal tutor will be there to support you every step of your Primary PGCE journey.Our Primary PGCE takes 36 weeks to complete. You’ll spend 12 weeks of this time studying on campus. This will include a one-week induction to prepare you for placement, and sessions to develop your knowledge of the curriculum.. To give you experience in the classroom, you’ll spend at least 120 days working in two local schools. But, don’t worry, you won’t have the pressure of teaching an entire lesson straight away. Your training will begin with observing a teacher and helping with group work. Then you’ll share the classes with the teacher and work towards teaching lessons independently.CareersWith a PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), you’ll be ready to teach in primary schools across England. Most of our graduates find their first teaching position soon after they qualify. Many of them secure roles in our partnership schools. After you’ve completed this course, you can join our Masters in Education. Your PGCE gives you Masters credits which means you’ll be fast tracked and can complete this course by the end of your second year of teaching.
