Course summary

Choosing to become a Primary Teacher is your first step to inspiring children in learning about their world and here at Birmingham Newman University, we would love to support you on this journey. We understand that the Primary 3-11 age range is a crucial time for children’s development and learning. It is at this formative
and particularly receptive stage of development that attitudes towards learning are formed,
attitudes that will impact future life course development.

During your primary teacher training course, you will undertake a range of modules, that will equip you to become an effective and creative teacher across the full age range in order to achieve the professional standards required for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

There will be 4 Intensive Training and Practice (ITAP) weeks that will each focus on a specific area of Primary teaching.
