The Specialist pathway enables you to develop a specialism in Mental Health and Wellbeing alongside gaining the Primary PGCE with QTS. Successful completion of the programme leads to recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). If you have qualified teacher status (QTS), you’ll get a minimum starting salary of £31,650 (or more in London) as a primary or secondary school teacher in England, rising to £41,333 for more experienced teachers. Every school needs teachers who can actively contribute to fostering a classroom and school environment that promotes positive mental health. That could be you. Our PGCE Primary Mental Health and Wellbeing Specialist with QTS course offers a high-quality teacher training experience while also developing your knowledge and expertise in mental health and wellbeing, with an additional nationally recognised qualification. You’ll learn to educate children aged 5-11 in all primary subjects and deepen your understanding of social, emotional, and mental health needs, enhancing your practice with practical, evidence-based strategies to support every child in your care. You’ll spend significant time on placements in schools, where we’ll help you meet the teachers’ standards. You’ll acquire the essential professional skills and knowledge for a two-year induction as an early career primary teacher. Graduating with an enhanced awareness of mental health and wellbeing, you’ll set an example for teaching and learning in ways that are enriching, engaging, and inspiring.
