Our Primary Teacher Education (PTE) course is for those who:
- want a career where you can really change children’s lives
- are curious about how children learn
- want to become an outstanding teacher who improves children’s prospects.
Our innovative degree develops your individual expertise as a teacher. We provide experiences to deepen your understanding of how to teach effectively. And they will be underpinned by current and relevant educational research, and theory about how children learn.
You will be taught by dedicated primary teaching specialists, most of whom are former primary teachers themselves.
You will:
- gain an understanding of the full range of subjects in the primary school national curriculum
- gain the skills to become a teacher recommended for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
- be well-informed about current practice
- prepare to become a future professional leader.
Ofsted recently recognised our Primary Teacher Education course as preparing trainees well to teach across the full primary curriculum.
Course Details - Modules
Your knowledge of primary schooling across the age range will be developed, as will your ability to teach primary curriculum subjects, particularly English, Mathematics and Science. Year 1 covers theories of learning as introduced in the child development module. Closely allied to this is the Becoming a Researcher module, while creativity and cross-curricular approaches are incorporated in the Exploring Learning module. Year 2 introduces you to three specialist pathways focusing on primary pedagogical aspects. Year 3 requires you to choose a study pathway and complete a dissertation in an area of your choice. Your learning will take place both on campus, in the classroom and in other educational contexts such as museums, galleries and the outdoors. A central component of the course will be your work experience in school, supported by school-based mentors. This features in each stage of the course in carefully selected partner schools.
