Course summary

Inspire children into a lifetime of learning by training as a primary teacher. Study with an expert Primary PGCE team, with support from expert mentors on your school placement. Overview If you have the ambition to inspire children aged 5 to 11 as they begin their learning journey, this accredited Primary PGCE is perfect for you. You'll learn to be an amazing primary school teacher who can engage your pupils, work productively with your colleagues, and keep improving your teaching practice throughout your career. You'll study with expert practitioners and academic researchers in your university teacher training sessions, and spend at least 120 days on placement in a primary school or other educational setting, with support from school-based mentors. We'll offer you school placements in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, and give you a taste of teaching and learning outside mainstream primary education to broaden your knowledge of the sector. When you graduate, you'll be eligible for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which qualifies you to teach in UK schools as a primary teacher. You'll also be well placed for moving into school management roles, other training careers or any role that calls for creative communication and problem-solving skills.
