What qualifications do you need to become a primary school teacher?

I am interested in becoming a primary school teacher (uk) and I wondered if anyone knows the qualifications that are needed, also how long does it take to become qualified?
Thanks

First, please understand that teaching primary grades is every bit as difficult as teaching higher ones. In fact it may even be harder. You need a four year teacher’s college degree in teaching plus a major in primary education. I also suggest you visit some classes to see what is actually going on in those classrooms.
