Course summary

On this School Centred Primary Education PGCE you will develop the essential skills and professional experience to succeed as an outstanding teacher. Taking the School Centred route for your PGCE means that you will be based in one of our Lead Partners schools. This means that the majority of your time will be spent at your partner school, while still attending academic sessions between school and university. You will graduate with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).


York St John University was established as a teacher training college in 1841. We have a long history of training students to become successful and effective teachers. On this course you will study a combination of both education theory and practice. This will help you to become an informed and reflective teacher. You will research current local and national educational issues which will shape your teaching practice. You will gain a thorough understanding of the current primary and early years curriculum, including core and foundation subjects. We also emphasise the importance of meeting the individual needs of children from diverse backgrounds.


You will develop knowledge and skills in:


  • Planning, teaching and assessment of learning for young children in either the 3-7 or 7-11 age range
  • Managing and organising teaching and learning to promote inclusion for young children from a range of backgrounds and with a range of individual needs
  • Ensuring children are safe and healthy
  • Promoting good progress in learning for all children
  • Appropriate subject knowledge to support teaching and learning
  • Using existing research and conducting your own research in schools

We have established excellent partnerships with teaching schools across the north of England. This allows us to work closely with schools to support you throughout the course. On graduation you will be qualified to teach the full 3-11 age range, but you will have a specialism in either lower or upper primary.
