Secondary Education (11-16) with Recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status

Translate your passion for English texts, language, and drama into a rewarding career as a teacher. We will help you develop your understanding of the nuts and bolts of practical teaching alongside a wide range of theoretical techniques, giving you the skills to manage a variety of teaching scenarios. For example, you could fuel your pupils' interest in the English language and great literary works by using drama to bring short stories, poems, and books to life. You will become a storyteller in your lessons, developing pupils' understanding of fiction and its importance to western culture. Learning how to expertly read and express texts using intonation will be a key part of your developing skillset and will play an important role in sparking your pupils' interest. You will also learn how to select different texts to match the different abilities and levels of understanding of your class.

All applicants must have grade C passes in GCSE English Language and Maths (or equivalent) before making their application. Key Skills, Functional Skills, and the Certificate in Adult Numeracy/Literacy are not accepted in place of GCSEs.
