Our well-respected PGCE General Primary with QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) programme supports you through your journey from student to Early Career Teacher. The PGCE is an internationally renowned academic qualification, combined with the award award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) gives you the very best of evidence-based and informed practice. Our approach therefore provides you with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to navigate the complex and exciting demands of the primary classroom.
This also means you can take up a position as a qualified primary school teacher the minute you graduate.
This programme provides you with all the skills, knowledge and experience to teach engaging and stimulating lessons in a primary school setting.
Youll learn through a blend of theory and hands-on experience, working within the National Curriculum framework. You'll explore a range of key teaching skills and concepts from exploring how children learn, to managing behaviour, planning lessons and adapting teaching to a range of learners. You will also explore the theme of challenging and dismantling disadvantage and the key role a teacher has in raising aspirations.
Over half the course will be spent working with children on assessed placement, with school-based enrichment activities through Intensive Training and Practice (ITAP) alongside your university-based study. You'll take three assessed placements across a variety of schools and settings, building a wealth of experience to help advance your future career. These placements are planned intentionally throughout the programme to build on your curriculum, facilitate your enactment of it and designed to provide the level of challenge you need as the programme develops.
Normally a first degree, or equivalent with a minimum of 2:2 honours. Three GCSEs at minimum grade C/4 or above to include English language, mathematics and science (including biology, chemistry or physics). A satisfactory academic (university) reference AND a satisfactory professional reference if more than three years since academic study.
