School

I am interested in teaching or law and i am wondering what is the salary of a secondary school teacher. I do not want a career just for money and i just want to know. I would love teaching and i know i want to help children achieve success. I have the right grades as well.

Starting out, the salary would be around £20,000, rising eventually to roughly £30,000 per year. Of course, there is opportunity for promotion, such as faculty head, pastoral care / guidance and deputy head teacher / head teacher, in which case you would be likely to earn significantly more. Take a look at some vacancies on local authority websites and that should give you a better idea.

My son and I are currently at logger heads over which secondary school he should attend next year. He wants to go to the school where most of his friends are planning on going, even though the reputation is very poor and the ofstead report was quite damming. My preference is for another school, which is smaller and is well equipt, with a reasonable reputation (After all who doesn’t want their child in the best school available?). In your opinion who should get the final say?

let him have his way and bear the consequences of his decision. if forced, he will turn negative and blame everything on u. all we do is guide and facilitate n if he’s bright he will still get his As. so no worries, his future is his. sounds terrible but isnt better to have a happy family life with happy kids and happy moments than anger and resentment [which we had in ours which carried thru till their working lives - thats our regret] and they’re doing well , thank the powers that be!
all the best

I have heard that the council will be building a primary school on the land next to my
house. I suppose there will be some noise from the children and more difficulty
with parking. Do you think this will lower the value of my house ?

Usually house prices go up when they are near a school.

The Elementary schools I went to, always had mostly nice students, teachers, and staff there, But in middle school, all that went down hill. There were some nice students and mean students, and some of the teachers weren’t nice either. In 6th & 8th grade it was mainly the students. What have you experienced in the past at school? It can happen in high school and in the real world also. Is high school more gossipy?

In middle school adolescent hormones and behavior greatly affect the milieu of the school. High school tends to be much nicer than middle school.

Ive always wanted to be a primary school teacher from when i was little but now its getting to the point where i need to set out my future. I was just wanted to know what grades you needed like GCSE’S , and A level courses i would need to take and then on to uni ?

You need at least a C in Maths, English and Science.

You could take just about any A Levels and degree course, although there is more demand for Maths and Sciences.

You could either do a regular degree followed by a one year course of Initial Teacher Training (such as a GTP or PGCE), or a BEd with QTS.

I have very good GCSEs and have also taken 2 other level 2 courses. I would love to be a primary school teacher, however with the prices of uni its almost impossible for me to go. I was wondering if there is any other routes I could take to become a primary school teacher, eg night courses? I’m not quite sure how to get into teaching without a degree.
Any answers will help, thanks!

You can’t.

You MUST have a degree to get Qualified Teacher Status.

How about an OU degree?

I would like to start a cbse primary school in maharashtra . What legal permissions i need to take for this ?

Maybe Apple can choose to run some schools and McDonald’s can run another school. Parents could choose which school they wish to send their kids to near their area.

They’d accept all the “smart” kids and kids without learning disabilities or emotional disturbances, etc.

And they’d expect government handouts if we wanted them to teach ALL the kids.

I’ve worked in both public and private schools. Private was a cush job and they’re generally not equipped to provide for kids with special needs. This is why some kids on the private school vouchers end up going back to their public school.

There’s a reason we have the Dept. of Ed. All children need a shot, and the private sector isn’t much interested in serving ALL kids.

Hi, I am trying to find out what a child in Primary school in England should learn in history lessons. I am specifically interested in content ie- World Wars, Tudors, etc- and are there any documents available online to support this?
Many thanks

It’s all here:

Key Stage 1: http://curriculum.qcda.gov.uk/key-stages-1-and-2/subjects/history/keystage1/index.aspx

Key Stage 2: http://curriculum.qcda.gov.uk/key-stages-1-and-2/subjects/history/keystage2/index.aspx

Don’t the short length of the documents fool you – the NC gives quite a lot of freedom to schools these days.

I really want to know what qualifications ill need to be a primary school teacher because i really want to be a primary school teacher when im older, im in the top group for english and the middle group for maths and im aiming for an A in both subjects when i do my GCSE at the end of year 9 (the year im in now, so around may next year)
so is their anything else i need to be a teacher?

And pluss…How much do teachers get paid on average per year?

Primary school teachers in the UK develop schemes of work and lesson plans in line with curriculum objectives. They facilitate learning by establishing a relationship with pupils and by their organization of learning resources and the classroom learning environment

In-service training is available and teachers are encouraged to pursue continuing professional development (CPD) relevant to their own responsibilities and the development needs of the school. Training takes place in-house on teacher training days or at regional training centers run by local authorities. Training covers a wide range of topics, such as curriculum issues, target setting and assessment, special needs, subject leadership, pastoral care, new initiatives and technology. Some teachers study on a part-time basis for higher qualifications related to their specialist subject. Or, they take Masters degrees in education or business administration (MBA), depending on their career aims. Professional qualifications for school managers are also available;

New entrants to the profession in England, Wales and Northern Ireland start on the main salary scale, which rises incrementally from £21,102 to £30,842. Enhanced pay scales apply for teachers working in or near London. Salaries in Northern Ireland are generally similar to those for England and Wales. In Scotland, the new entrants’ starting salary is £21,438, rising incrementally to £34,200. Pay scales are reviewed annually. Good luck.
