Early Years and Primary Education (3-7) with QTS

Entry requirements

Normally you need:

• GCSE grade C or Grade 4 in English Language and mathematics and science, or equivalent
• a 2.2 degree or above

Where applicants have achieved a GCSE grade 4 or above in English literature only, we will look for further evidence of a breadth of achievement in English.

You must complete a declaration of criminal convictions and health check forms.

Candidates who are successful will demonstrate a sound understanding of teaching and how children learn, where possible within a school setting. We encourage all candidates to evidence their understanding by drawing on related examples or experiences, such as time spent in schools or other learning settings. Demonstrating an ability to make links between experience and knowledge, and their proposed career would be desirable.
