Childhood: Primary Education with QTS is a new and exciting opportunity for students wishing to become primary school teachers. The programme enables students to gain a BA Honours degree while working towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). This programme is delivered in partnership with our ITT partners, North Essex Teacher Training and Suffolk and Norfolk SCITT. The BA Childhood enables you to explore the diverse, multi-faceted experiences of children through a range of perspectives such as sociology, education, psychology, social policy and health, while also acquiring an in-depth understanding across several subject disciplines and clearly defined core curriculum specialisms.
From year one, you will combine studying with practical classroom experience at partnered primary schools, allowing you to put your academic knowledge in practice on a continuous basis. The academic team draws on years of academic and professional expertise in teacher training, childhood, child health, development and therapeutic working. You will benefit from close working relationships with a highly qualified teaching team who will support you in your journey to becoming a primary teacher.
This academically challenging route is designed especially for high performing, motivated students as it combines a full-time academic programme with school placements throughout each year of the course. Entry into the route is competitive and subject to a selection process.
