On this course, you’ll specialise in education in early years settings and primary schools, from ages 3 to 7. We’ll help you develop your own expertise and understanding of how children learn. You’ll study both the national curriculum and the EYFS statutory curriculum, and build up your knowledge in the subjects you will be teaching. You’ll gain experience by working in a variety of schools and other settings, alongside experienced teachers. You’ll also undertake your own research projects to build up your specialist subject knowledge. Successful completion of the course 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. With your recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), on graduation you could teach in early years foundation stage (EYFS), key stage 1, and key stage 2.
