Choose Kingston's Primary Teaching leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) PGCE
Our PGCE course in Primary Teaching provides an intensive, highly challenging and rewarding programme that will enable you to qualify as a primary teacher for Key Stage 1 and 2 at the end of a year of training. You will also receive the award of PGCE with 60 credits towards a masters degree. School experience in our excellent range of partnership schools is an integral part of the course, helping you relate theory to practice.
What will you study?
The course will equip you with a sound knowledge of the core subjects of English, mathematics, ICT and science, along with a broader understanding of subjects such as art, geography and physical education. You will study your chosen specialist subject in further depth, and develop the essential skills of communication, planning, teaching and assessment that you will need in practice.
You will spend 18 weeks of the 36-week course on school placements, supported by a school-based mentor and/or a university tutor.
"The well-designed course structure enabled me to plan ahead and it made a big difference to me that my school experience placements could be located close to my home." Christine Briggs
"Leaving my first placement class knowing that I'd actually taught them something was a great feeling and showed me that coming to Kingston to do a PGCE was a fantastic decision." Claire Saul
