Course summary
This course is ideal if youre interested in teaching children between the ages of five and 11. You will learn how to teach, how to lead and you will develop your subject knowledge to give you confidence and competence in the classroom. You will spend time in schools supported by a trained mentor during each year to enable you to develop and demonstrate competence in all of the Teachers' Standards. You will be trained to teach Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 and upon successful completion of the course you will be awarded Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), allowing you to teach anywhere in the country. Your course consists of university and school-based learning. You will be in school for at least 120 days over the course of your degree. The commitment to the course is full time – you need to be available five days a week. However, not all of that time will be face to face teaching. Sessions in university vary according to the time of year but on average you may have 16 hours face to face teaching. At other times you may be undertaking reading and writing for assignments or completing pre tasks before coming to sessions.We have a partnership of schools that we work with regularly for school placements. The majority of these schools are in the Northamptonshire area but we do work with schools further afield in Milton Keynes, Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire. Your placements will be arranged by our Placements Team based on your term time address and your previous placements. We ensure a range of placements in terms of types and size of school and the year groups you work in. Your year 2 and 3 placements will be in alternate key stages.
