At Worcester, you’ll gain experience through multiple placements in a variety of school environments throughout the year, preparing you for a successful transition into teaching.

When not on placement, you’ll be taught through a mixture of lectures, workshops and interactive subject sessions covering the full spectrum of National Curriculum subjects. In these interactive sessions, our tutors will model effective teaching and classroom management strategies. They’ll then pause their ‘teaching’ to clarify their actions and the reasons behind them. Specialist facilities, such as our DT room, gymnasium, music room and art studio, are designed to replicate the school environments you’ll be teaching in, allowing you to learn in authentic settings.

In addition to your subject-specific sessions, you’ll also cover topics like behaviour management and inclusive practice, as well as carry out your own research project. In each year, our 'Developing Self' module will equip you with tools for good mental health and wellbeing, and give you space to reflect on your personal development.

The route you choose will determine the focus of your modules. For example, if you choose early years, you’ll learn how to adapt a maths lesson for 3 or 4-year-olds. In a later years group, you might be creating a computing lesson plan for 10-year-olds.

No matter which route you choose, you will qualify to teach across all primary areas – giving you flexibility throughout your career.
