Course programme

Course structure

This year-long course is both rewarding and demanding. The programme is a blend of taught sessions at the university and school-based training. The university sessions are designed to be as interactive and collaborative as possible, to ensure that you experience a range of learning approaches.

The course includes 120 days in two London placements in Early Years/Key Stage 1 settings learning to teach with a mentor (an experienced classroom teacher) where classroom experience is extended with University set tasks and practical research. In both contexts, self-directed study is extremely important throughout the course to support your development in purposeful educational enquiry, preparing effective teaching resources and ensuring up-to-date subject knowledge.

During university sessions, the course consists of the two modules:

  • The Curriculum Studies module is the theoretical underpinning of the practice that students take into the classroom and as such provides access to the pedagogical knowledge and understanding required to effectively plan and teach well structured lessons in Early Year’s curriculum and pedagogy, english and mathematics, science and foundation subjects, and assess pupil’s progress in each of the these curriculum areas.
  • The PiP sessions support the wider professional development of each student teacher. This programme provides discussion of the role of children’s rights and how this underpins effective learning relationships; understanding of different aspects of inclusive education; introduction to the whole school and wider children’s workforce and team work and collaborative discussion across different subject areas.

Both modules involve reflection on personal learning experiences and their application to the process of becoming a teacher in relation to the Teachers’ Standards and critical examination of education policy and practices as well as national and local data.
