This graduate-level primary teacher training program prepares you to educate children aged five to eleven. You'll qualify for top-tier tax-free training bursaries while developing skills to teach the full primary curriculum with specialized options available.

The Primary PGCE with English as an Additional Language specialization focuses on supporting students whose first language isn't English. Throughout the program, you'll master classroom teaching techniques, gaining the confidence to educate full classes of 30 pupils across all primary subjects.

Graduates emerge with exceptional curriculum knowledge, lesson planning expertise, and the ability to foster student progress. Our strong partnerships with regional schools and local authorities address local teacher shortages, with many graduates securing positions at their placement schools.

Education authorities consistently praise our trainees' classroom readiness. As noted in OFSTED's 2012 report, one school remarked: "They arrive prepared to teach and fully equipped to handle classroom challenges."
