Primary PGCE

Entry requirements

You should normally have a lower second-class (2.2) undergraduate honours degree or above.

You will need:

• a strong knowledge and understanding of Primary education, and a sound awareness of current issues in state English Primary schools;
• a degree in a subject related to the Primary national curriculum, or a related subject such as child development, psychology, etc. Your qualification must be from an approved Higher Education institution or validating body;
• GCSE English, Mathematics and a science subject at grade C (or equivalent). You must provide evidence of these qualifications at interview.

Undertaking a short classroom type teaching task and showing an awareness of the curriculum and school life is part of our interview process, so you may wish to prepare yourself by spending some time in an appropriate school setting for the subject/phase you intend to teach beforehand.
