BA (Hons) with recommendation for QTS Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
Our Ofsted Outstanding course will extend both your subject knowledge as well as pedagogical knowledge in all curriculum areas in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Professional studies modules each year form the backbone of the course and prepare you for the academic and professional role of being a teacher.
There is a focus on the core curriculum - English and mathematics have individual modules each year, giving plenty of time to explore pedagogical and content knowledge of each subject. Science is taught through STEM modules and an individual module in year 3. The foundation subjects are taught as subjects in their own right, but cross curricular opportunities are also explored, to recognise the different way that schools develop a broad and balanced curriculum.
The course is delivered in partnership with our primary schools across in the North West, and will provide you with a rich range of teaching opportunities in each year including a total of 24 weeks full time placements so you will have plenty of hands-on practice and training, not only from academic tutors but also from the teachers you work with in schools. Your teaching placements will be in Key Stage One and Key Stage 2 classes every school will provide you with a mentor will always have the support of a mentor who oversees your school based training needs, with additional visits from a member of LJMU staff.
In year 1 you will have 6 weeks block placement. In addition to this you will be in school every Monday from late October which will give you a great opportunity to build your confidence and understanding of the Primary school and the role of the teacher.
In year 2 you will have an 8 week block placement with and then in year 3 your final placement will last for 12 weeks.
Further enrichment opportunities working with children come through modules, teaching phonics, planning mathematics trails, teaching foundation subjects and delivering a global project experience in schools. All these additional experiences are only possible due to the small relatively small cohort size and the excellent relationship we have with our local partnership schools.
