A teacher who is knowledgeable and skilled can have an amazing impact on a child during their time at school and beyond.

Working primarily in the 5-11 age range, you'll play a vital role in motivating children to be engaged and excited about their learning.

Developed in close partnership with primary schools throughout East Anglia, our PGCE Primary (5-11) course is designed to help you become a confident and capable teacher who can motivate children and manage a class effectively.

You’ll join this one-year, full-time course in September and finish the following July. You’ll spend the majority of time in schools – with at least 120 days (24 weeks) in main placements and additional days in schools which allow for opportunities to prepare and rehearse key teaching skills, with up to 60 days in taught sessions. Your placements will be in two different schools, helping you to develop an understanding from contrasting experiences.

Upon successful completion of your PGCE, you'll graduate with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and 90 Master’s level credits.
