Year 1 is equivalent to the old 'lower infants' - they are 5 and 6 year olds.
To teach in a primary school, you would have to be a qualified teacher, either a B.Ed or degree then PCGE. It's a good idea to get some voluntary experience in a school before deciding on this career path.

Most of your answers have covered the basic qualifications. You will need 3 or more A levels to gain entry to university. Then you will need to pass a degree at a 2:1 or above so that you can apply for a post on a PGCE (post graduate certificate in education) course. The PGCE last a year and includes a minimum of 95 days teaching in school. After you have successfully completed this 6 year stint in further and higher education you will still have to pass 3 QTS tests in Maths, English and ICT, and complete a year full time teaching to become a fully qualified teacher. Seven years hard slog to then be paid a pittance compared to other post grads.
Be clever now and rethink!!
Good luck with whatever you choose.

Year 1 is 5 years old. The UK system starts with Reception (<5), Year 1 & 2 (5&6yr olds) in Infants.
Junior School is years 3 to 6 which covers the 7 - 11 yrs age group.
Then Senior School is years 7 to 13 which is 11 - 18. Years 12 and 13 are what we used to call 6th form.
To teach any of these age groups you will need a subject degree plus a post graduate teacher's certificate OR a teaching degree.
hope this helps.
I suggest you go to careers guidance.

Primary one children are 4-5 years old.
If you have a degree already then you can go to university for a year to gain a teaching qualification. Then you do a probabtionary year at a school and after that you're classed as a teacher.

Year 1 is Primary 1 in Scotland i think. I did the 4 year B.Ed course and I'm now in my probationary year. The money isn't too bad to b honest, better than my previous jobs!
When I entered the course you required 4 B grades and 1 C grade (minimum) at Higher level. One of the B's has to be in English

they're around 5 and you will need a degree with QTS (qualified teacher status) or a B.Ed. to get on these courses you will probably have to have some experience so maybe doing some volutary work in a school or working as a classroom assistant for a while would be beneficial.

is this to boot to maths and English given which you will choose the two a variety of? Maths, English, technological awareness and it will likely be your maximum suitable guess as those are the middle subjects to the ordinary Curriculum. you will additionally choose for a tiers and then a level. Edit: ok, this is clearer. extremely take a concern(s) you savor which you will tackle to a level and a level. In my case I took background at 'O' point (showing my age right here) and then at 'A' point and my degree is a BA(hons) in background and preparation with QTS (qualified instructor status) As they are beginning off to instruct languages in school this could be an option to evaluate - in case you're good adequate to instruct a much off places lanuage it extremely is something greater beneficial to grant whilst it somes to utilising for jobs. an analogous is going for music - faculties consistently choose for a piano participant.
