Learn all the knowledge of PGCE General Primary with a specialism in SEND in order to enable all children to be successful from the very start of their school life. The PGCE General Primary (5-11 years) with QTS: Inclusion/SEND– prepares you to be an outstanding primary school teacher with additional skills that will allow you to become confident in creating an inclusive classroom, which enables children to overcome any barriers to learning. In addition to the benefits that this specialism brings to you as a classroom practitioner, following this specialism can also be a step towards a career that could lead to you becoming a SENCo or a specialist SEND teacher.
The specialism, which will focus on Inclusion/SEND, allows you to explore ways in which all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities, can be included in classrooms and schools. You will learn through a combination of theory, an examination of current policy and practice, including the Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice 0 to 25 2015, combined with plenty of practical experience and input from experts in the SEND field.
And, because our course has QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) built-in, you can apply for a position as a primary school teacher the minute you graduate. Curious about Teaching and what happens in our course? Follow our Institute of Education on Social Media:
