and maybe in your case learning to read the additional details before you jump down my throat -- village idiot -- how appropriate :D

Used to be 7 points required - work it out like this.....
A=3 points
B=2 points
C=1 point
I got in to the B.Ed course with 9 points, from 5 Highers. It's probably changed now though.
English is a must and maths preferred. Try to get experience being a helper in a primary school one afternoon a week, maybe in your 6th year. When applying, the powers that be will be looking for some experience, no matter how limited.
Good luck. It's a good job - infuriating at times but rewarding more often.

You would definately need Maths and English GCSE, some sort of ICT qualifictaion would be an advantage. Also good grades in the subject you hope to specialise in. I would look at teh unis you want to go to and ask for their entry requirements for the primary degrees - usually 3 c's but best to check.
Look on www.ucas.co.uk for help.
P.S. I am a teacher and its a fab job!

Depends on the University, but i'm guessing a B or higher in subjects such as English and Maths. Im not too sure though, just try to do well in all your subjects, and choose subjects that you enjoy and will find easy(ish)

To teach at primary level you need a good all round base of knowledge, as you'll be teaching English, maths, geography, science, art, music etc etc. So take as many exams as you can, read as much as you can, be as interesting a person as you can and you'll have a good basis to start with. A commendable ambition! Good luck to you.

If you are hoping to teach it would be a great idea to learn to spell. WHAT not WAT. Maybe a slip but shows that you are sloppy. Future generations of children deserve teachers that can spell and write good grammar

Take a look at the DFES website and also teach.gov - they have some useful links

I'm thinking that learning how to spell might be critically important.
