How to be a Primary Teacher? How to be a primary teacher and what is it like to be a primary school teacher in the 21st century? Well, it’s possibly very different to what you remember from school and definitely one of the few jobs in the United Kingdom that allows you to make a difference, and make the world a better place, every single working day. After becoming a primary school teacher you will be able to have a huge positive effect on young people’s lives, so much so, that they may well indeed remember you into their adulthood and even for the rest of their time on Earth.
So basically you either need an education specific degree with QTS, or a degree in something else that doesn’t come with QTS which is then enhanced with another, usually year long, training course afterwards. This is either on the job training, or doing college based learning and placements in schools. You also need A-C GCSE grade, or equivalent, skills in English and maths. This includes science too for SCITT schemes if you plan to teach ages 7-14 which is key stage 2 to 3. If you don’t have those GCSE’s you can re-take them through many establishments and they are called GCSE equivalence tests.
