School

Could somebody tell me what Qualifications I need to become a Primary school treacher or teaching assistant. I have GCSE grade C in English, English Literature, Maths, Science, ICT and Textiles.
If anyone could give me any websites that would be very useful, thank you.

The two jobs are are on completely different levels. If you want to be a teaching assistant then there are specific NVQs but you can start the job without them. If you want to be a teacher then all info and advice starts at
www.tda.gov.uk/recruit.aspx
It would help you a lot if you were to arrange some time volunteering in a local primary school where they will be able to explain the difference between the two jobs.

   Good exam results already.Now do your A Levels.You need to do either BSc or BA with QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) degree.Or..PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate of Education) after a "normal" degree.There is a very small number who still offer the "old" qualification BEd,three years too.

   Good luck !
