School Direct Training Programmes (Primary)

Become a primary school teacher and make a positive impact on a child’s life with a School Direct programme.

School Direct involves schools working in partnership with accredited teacher training institutions to offer training routes to Qualified Teacher Status for outstanding teachers.

This course equips you with the knowledge and skills to teach across the primary age group (specialising in 3–7, 5–11 or 7–11 years). You'll develop an understanding of the National Curriculum and the learning needs of children, as well as the professional values you need to meet the demands of teaching.

We offer two School Direct routes into teaching - a salaried programme for graduates with three years' career experience, who will be employed as unqualified teachers, and a non-salaried route where you pay tuition fees and work towards a PGCE (with other sources of funding available). Both routes lead to the recommendation of Qualified Teacher Status.
