PGCE Primary (3-7)

University of Chichester

Overview

Qualify as a primary school teacher with the knowledge and skills you need to work with younger children

Learn the art of teaching

You will develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the teaching profession, as you learn the fundamentals of the national curriculum to fully prepare you for working in primary schools.

In addition, you will study early years specifically to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of pedagogy and practice for teaching younger pupils (3 – 7 years) and how this relates to the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and the National Curriculum.

This is achieved through a balance of study related to the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by the teaching profession, the fundamentals of the national curriculum, and a dedicated focus on understanding the role of the Early Years/ KS 1 teacher.

Careers

Take the first steps towards your career within early years education

This programme will enable you to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and work as an early years teacher.

While the vast majority of graduates choose to work in a primary school, in previous years, some students have been employed in secondary schools, special schools or the wider education sector.

Many of our previous students have progressed in their careers and now hold senior posts in their schools.
