PGCE Primary Education

Studying a PGCE in Primary Education is often the best route to pursue a career in the rewarding field of primary level teaching. A PGCE provides the opportunity to build knowledge and gain understanding of how children learn, as well as developing strategies to foster their learning in a positive, rewarding teaching environment.

When studying a PGCE in Primary Education, you will take an in-depth look at how children learn and will become confident with skills such as lesson planning, classroom management, assessment and evaluation. The PGCE course focuses on primary education specifically, covering topics including early years learning and development, teaching literacy through language, and numeracy instruction.

Over the one-year duration of the course, you will undertake University-based learning at Walsall Campus, and spend at least 120 days divided between two different schools across the 3-11 age range within the primary age phase.

Your University tutor team is available to assist you throughout your training, supporting development of reflection. Every effort is made to ensure that high-quality school placements are provided to you, facilitating learning through observing, co-teaching and being observed by experienced teachers in the classroom.

Teaching on the PGCE Primary Education course comprises a variety of methodologies that will prepare you for life in the classroom including teacher-led discussions, pupil-led exploration, peer-group discovery, problem based learning, e-learning and the provision of individual targets.

You will be assessed in a variety of ways including written assignments; classroom based investigation and other school-based activities, and appraisal of practical teaching skills.
