If you're ready to take the next step towards a rewarding career in teaching, this PGCE Primary Education Teaching Degree Apprenticeship will give you the skills, experience, and confidence to lead a classroom and inspire young minds. As you work in a primary school and study with us, you’ll develop the practical teaching abilities and professional knowledge needed to support and engage primary-aged children across all subjects. You’ll learn how to plan and deliver effective lessons, manage a classroom with confidence, and reflect on your practice so you’re always growing as an educator.
