If you are a graduate interested in learning and teaching and want to make a positive difference in the lives of young people, then the PGCE in Primary Education could be the course for you.
The course qualifies you to become a primary teacher for children in the 5 to 11 age range and provides training for Key Stages One and Two. Successful completion of the PGCE leads to a Postgraduate Certificate in Education awarded by Durham University and the recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status. The QTS element is accredited by Newcastle University and awarded by the Department of Education.
We pride ourselves on offering a well-planned blend of research and experience in the classroom to start you on your successful career as an Early Career Teacher. We emphasise your entitlement to the Core Content Framework throughout our PGCE course to fully prepare you for the Early Career Framework, which will support you during your first two years of teaching as an Early Career Teacher.
Please note that the course does not run to standard university terms. It is delivered full-time, starting in early September and continues over 10 months.
