Primary and Early Years Education

We normally require a Bachelor\'s Honours degree at 2:1 level or above from a UK higher education institution or a recognised equivalent in a subject that provides the necessary foundation for work as a primary teacher although we will consider applications from those with a 2:2 degree.

Trainees expecting to take a specialist module in a core subject, Special Educational Needs or Early Years must have an appropriate degree or be able to demonstrate equivalent understanding and experience.

GCSE at grade C or above (or its equivalent) in English, mathematics and a science subject is also necessary at the point of enrolment.

For entry onto a teaching course you\'ll also be required to pass Skills Tests in Literacy and Numeracy. Please visit the\xc2\xa0DfE website\xc2\xa0for more\xc2\xa0information. Applicants who have accepted a place will be offered support with the tests if required.

It is essential for applicants to have spent time in British state primary schools and have some familiarity with the current National Curriculum before submitting an application.

You will provide a \'Seen Teaching Form\' signed by a senior member of a primary school or other appropriate state setting as part of the selection process.

Applicants must meet The National College for Teaching and Leadership requirements for Initial Teacher Training, which means being medically fit and successfully completing an enhanced disclosure via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
