Thanks Mundia.

 

My daughter is thinking of going into teaching at Primary level, and wonders what she needs to do. She has some A levels.

 

Any thoughts or advice appreciated!

Hi Cait,

I'd say that work experience plays a huge part in gaining a place at Uni to do a B Ed. Could your daughter volunteer in a primary school at all? She'll need GCSE in Maths and English (and possibly science?). At Brighton Uni, the grades required are around BBB at A-level, but this obviously varies widely. Have you had a look on the UCAS website for course requirements? Some education degree programmes include QTS, some don't, and therefore she would need to tag on a PGCE at the end of her degree. Hope this gives you a start!

Thanks Helen, we'll look into that
