PGCE Primary Education (3-7)

Develop as a creative, innovative and reflective teacher, specialising in working with the youngest children in primary schools (aged 3-7), on a course that meets the requirements for Qualified Teacher Status.

This course offers all the benefits of our Primary Education but with a focus on the 3-7 age range. Through a specialist placement in Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, you develop a secure understanding of early years teaching and learning, supported by experienced early years and primary teachers.

You attend subject-specific sessions, lectures and seminars designed to develop awareness and understanding of general professional issues; the content of the National Curriculum; and practical guidance on aspects of teaching such as lesson planning and assessment.

When you successfully complete the course, you achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), enabling you to work as an early years or primary teacher.
