Primary teacher training
At primary level you’ll get to teach a diverse curriculum that touches upon a wide range of subjects. This gives you the opportunity to make a big impact on pupils’ lives, ensuring they progress seamlessly into secondary education. You can also train as a specialist with an extra focus on certain subjects.
"As well as being eager to learn, my class are inquisitive and enthusiastic about pretty much everything! They make me laugh everyday."
