Program Overview

The BA (Hons) Childhood: Primary Education with QTS is an exciting opportunity for students wishing to become primary school teachers. The course is delivered in partnership with local Initial Teacher Training (ITT) providers and combines a full-time academic programme with a placement in a school setting. This allows in-depth experience over a range of schools and year groups. This programme offers students a rich and varied programme of study combining extensive school experience of over 160 days in practice and professional learning with a multi-disciplinary academic study of childhood. The programme enables students to gain a BA Honours degree in Childhood while working towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in Primary Education. Upon successful completion of the programme students will have obtained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) which will allow them to take up a qualified teacher position in a primary school.  

This course includes a wide range of continuous professional development training, like paediatric first aid training, protecting children online and Youth Mental Health First Aid training.  

On this course, you will engage with children, understand their rights, listen to their experiences, and prioritise these. You will be equipped to do this through a range of modules, which build on a diversity of social sciences without privileging one perspective over another. Through this array of lenses, you will interrogate contemporary issues and debates within childhood and education from local, national and international contexts.   

An in-depth understanding of diversity and difference in children and childhoods will enabling you to develop, adopt and champion inclusive and participatory attitudes and practice throughout your studies and into your future career. We want to equip you with the skills to become change agents in your future organisations and communities. The academic team draws on years of academic and professional expertise in teacher training, childhood, child health, development and therapeutic working. You will benefit from close working relationships with a highly motivated teaching team who will support you in your journey to becoming a primary education teacher.   

This academically challenging route is designed especially for high performing, motivated students as it combines a full-time academic programme with school placements throughout each year of the course.

If you don’t meet the above entry requirements, we may still be able to consider you. If you’re interested in applying, contact our Admissions Team or call our Clearing Hotline to discuss your suitability for study.
