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.

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 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 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.

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.

Thanks.:)

i think you should wear flats and not pumps
you’ll probably be on your feet a lot and with kids you don’t know what you’ll be doing
as long as your skirt isn’t too short and your blouse isn’t too low, it should be fine

Would it be hard to get a job as a qualified teacher after doing the PGCE with those A level grades? Primary school teachers can you tell me what grades you got?

Hi there,

It sounds like you are really interested in pursuing primary teaching as your career. The A level grades you mentioned above are good grades. As to getting into primary school teaching, it all depends on what route you want to take. As far as I am aware, there are 2 main routes into this (although there may be others).

(1) Do an undergraduate degree in any subject (although might be better to do it in core subjects eg. maths, english or science) and then apply to do the 1 year PGCE training.

(2) Do a 3-4 year undergraduate degree in primary school teaching.

If you take route 1, then the A-Level grades you get all depends on the requirements of the university to do that course and each university differs. Whats more important when applying to do the PGCE is your degree classification and you would need to aim for a 2.1 ideally although I understand that some uni’s will accept 2.2 graduates.

If you take route 2 then again, the A-Level grades you need to get, all depend on the university’s requirements to undertake the undergraduate teaching degree. When applying to universities, it might be best to pick courses whereby you feel that the A-Level requirements are within your reach.

If you want to discuss these options further then it might also be a good idea for you to make an appointment with a careers advisor either in your school/college or a local careers advisor.

If you are from wales then you can contact the Meic Helpline (24 hour helpline for young people) on; 08088023456, text 84001 or IM/email; www.meiccymru.org

best of luck with this :)

I am about to move Brighton or Hove at the end of this month. I am going to start university (postgraduate). I have a kid who is going to start primary school. I am a single mother. Therefore, I am looking safe place with good schools to move with my kid. I am driving so doesn’t matter how far my place will be from university. The priority is safeness and good school for my kid.

Thanks a lot!

Hove is probably the most suitable place and there are a few good schools there in the area, however both Brighton and Hove have their sort of downmarket, ‘council’ places that should probably be avoided and in your case places like Whitehawk. Kemp Town, in Brighton is quite upmarket and a good place however I think it’s more for single people (not saying that there aren’t any families). Have a look at the Ofsted reports on the Brighton council website and this will help you choose which school is goood however if you have not applied to any schools and your child is starting this September, the likelihood of you getting a good school is not very good.
