Primary Education - Primary (top-up) (QTS)

Students will normally be expected to have gained at least merit in a relevant Foundation Degree, or equivalent, and to evidence that they have spent the equivalent of 80 days in primary schools and to demonstrate an understanding of and progress towards the Teachers’ Standards (2012). Students will be expected to have GCSE in English, Mathematics and Science at grade C/4 or above and to pass the numeracy and literacy skills tests by 31st May.

A minimum Merit grade is required for FD, BTEC Lv 5 or HND and you MUST be registered for the NCTL Skills Tests by the time for interview and pass these tests by 31st May.

Candidates must be able to evidence their classroom experience against the Teachers Standards, including a minimum of 80 whole days classroom experience. (This is to APEL against the SE days students have to do to meet the QTS standards.)
