Train to teach with us!

All our initial teacher training courses lead to QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), a PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) and 60 Master’s Level credits.

We provide primary teacher training programmes for two age ranges: 3 to 7 and 5 to 11. Our 3 to 7 programme prepares you to deliver the National Curriculum for Early Years

Foundation Stage and Key Stage One, while also enhancing your knowledge of Key Stage Two. The primary 5 to 11 programme equips you to teach the National Curriculum for Key Stages One and Two, while also developing a strong understanding of the Early Years Framework.

Our secondary teacher training programme equips you with the knowledge and expertise to plan and teach your specialist subject across Key Stages Three and Four (11 to 16). You will develop your pedagogy and practice; learning from highly experienced colleagues who have taught the subject successfully in secondary schools for many years.
