Overview

What you’ll learn

• Become a reflective and evidence-based teacher, underpinned by research-informed pedagogy.
• Enhance your expertise in teaching phonics, literacy, numeracy, and inclusive practice.
• Become a confident communicator who can work collaboratively and professionally with both your students and fellow staff members.
• Promote creativity and innovation in the classroom as you inspire your pupils with a lifelong enjoyment of learning.

With strong partnerships across local schools and early years settings, you’ll benefit from high-quality placements where you’ll learn alongside experienced and inspiring teachers. You may choose to focus on the 3–7 or 5–11 age range, and there may also be opportunities to apply for a placement in a special educational needs (SEN) setting.

Throughout the course, you’ll receive expert guidance and one-to-one mentoring from both university tutors and school-based staff, ensuring you build the confidence, subject knowledge, and reflective practice needed to thrive as a teacher.
