Inspiring young minds and shaping futures starts in the primary classroom — and this course gives you the skills, experience, and confidence to thrive as a primary school teacher.
As you work in a school and study with us, you’ll build the knowledge and practical skills you need to teach and support primary-aged children across a range of subjects. From learning how to create engaging lessons to understanding how to use technology in the classroom, you'll be preparing to make a real difference in pupils' lives.
You’ll be supported by expert tutors and qualified mentors, and learn from the latest educational research, including that carried out right here at the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿.
