Teaching In Primary Schools
Taught
Create exciting learning environments with our hands-on Primary PGCE.
Learn to teach students aged five to 11 with our intensive Primary PGCE. You will train through professional experience and reflective practice.
Our primary teacher training course reflects all elements of the Department for Education's (DfE) Core Content Framework (CCF).
“Outstanding” teacher training
We are a top teacher training provider and are rated “outstanding” by Ofsted. We are highly thought of in the local area and 98% of our students are employed or in further study within six months of graduating.
Gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
You will gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). QTS is required to teach in all state-maintained schools in England. Your PGCE also qualifies you to teach abroad.
Assessment methods
Assessment is ongoing and assessed against the Teachers’ Standards. High standards of attendance, punctuality and active participation are essential parts of the course requirements. DfE requirements are that you spend a minimum of 120 days in school as part of your post-graduate teacher training. Our course starts at the beginning of September and concludes at the start of July each year and late starts to the programme cannot be considered, since the course is fast-paced.
Career opportunities
You will prepare for a career in primary education. You will also develop essential transferrable skills, such as leadership, teamwork, and creative problem-solving.
