Course Overview

If you’re looking for a lifelong, challenging and exciting career, primary teaching may be for you. In collaboration with our school partners, we offer our students an exceptional training experience.

There are two possible awards at the end of the course, the Postgraduate Certificate in Education and the Professional Graduate Certificate in Education, depending on your success in the academic elements of the course. Both awards include recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) for successful candidates.

We were founded as a teaching college 175 years ago, and following the introduction of new quality requirements, our Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), have successfully achieved reaccreditation in 2022 by the Department of Education.

Our ITT courses have also recently been rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, with inspectors highlighting their ‘unique’ emphasis on sustainability and the University’s strong partnership with schools.

As a more school-based route into primary teaching, not only will you study with the university (approximately 1 day per week), you will also be part of a School Direct cluster of schools, undertaking cluster-based training (approximately ½ to 1 day per week) and spending the rest of each week in allocated schools, learning alongside expert, school-based colleagues.

We place a high priority on school-based learning and on developing your analysis, evaluation and autonomous learning and development skills. Each cluster works with a range of primary schools and early years settings, and will place you in at least two different schools throughout the course of training.

School placements are assessed through the scrutiny of evidence by students, school staff and university tutors, while professional development and subject knowledge are assessed through two written assignments.

Strong collaboration between outstanding professionals across the university and our school partnerships promotes inspirational, research-informed training for aspirational teachers. Our highly professional trainees take responsibility for their own learning and make an immediate impact on pupil progress. We want all of our trainees to make a significant contribution to children’s lives and to feel enriched by successful careers in teaching.
