Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Primary Education leading to Qualified Teacher Status

This course has been designed to reflect four key areas of a teacher's professional responsibilities – professional practice, core subject curriculum and pedagogy, child development and inclusive practice, and foundation subject curriculum and pedagogy.

You will study a wide range of topics including pedagogy (the art of teaching), theories of learning and child development, safeguarding and how to support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). You will cover the core and foundation subjects of the National Curriculum, including English, mathematics, science, art and physical education.

Utilising different environments (inside and outside) is a feature of the course, as you will learn how sensory and physical experiences can generate opportunities for enhancing learning for pupils. You will also explore ways to use digital technology to engage your pupils and assist with teaching, learning and assessment.
