what are the qualifications needed to become a primary school teacher?

Question

i need a list from gcse onwards, do you need a degree? do you have to go to university? help!

Answer 1

In Britain you usually need at least one A-level in a core subject (English, Maths, Science), some experience and a QTS (Qualified Teacher Status). You can get this through quite a few different degrees such as educational studies (although you may have to do a PGCE to get the QTS), but the best in my opinion is a specific degree in Primary Education which automatically gives you the QTS at the end of the course. Try looking at www.ucas.com for different primary ed courses. The UCAS website will also tell you exactly what you need for each course, and you can apply through them.

Answer 2

It all depends on the training route you decide to take, there are two main routes the BEd, which is a 4 year course, leading to qualified teacher status (QTS), or the PGCE which takes 1 year, but requires degree level entry.
(BEd route) Academically you will need to have at least 5 G.C.S.E's grade A-C, which include the core subjects (English, maths, science). A levels in the aforementioned subjects are beneficial.
The next thing to do is volunteer in a primary school, just listening to the children read etc.
This experience is what universities are looking for and will help your application enormously, without experience you will struggle to be accepted anywhere.
(PGCE route). you will need the same level GCSE's and A-levels and a degree. You will qualify in a year, but probably won't find a job, as the course is only really suitable for secondary teaching.
Also contact you local council and enquire about working at a play scheme over the holidays (you should be payed to do this).
You will probably need a CRB (criminal record bureau) check, it costs about £50 and is valid for 3 years, you can apply on line: crb.gov.uk

Answer 3

You need maths english and science at gcse level and also A levels unless you are a mature student then you can do an access course and either start a 4 year undergraduate degree or do another degree and then a one year PGCE course. It is also possible to do a paid graduate teacher training programme instead of going to university doing a PGCE but these are hard to get on to as they are paid work placements.

Answer 4

you are able to often get into coaching via ability of two strategies. you are able to complete a level on your selected difficulty and then complete an further path in universal practise. Your uni ought to have information of the place it relatively is many times studied. or you are able to enrol in a coaching coaching college and take the universal college degree path. i'd advise which you communicate approximately the placed up universal coaching path as a lower back up in case you discover universal practise to no longer your liking.
