Primary Education 5-11 years (Upr) with Foundation Year

About this course

Primary Education with a specialisation in teaching children aged five to eleven is a degree that prepares you for the deeply rewarding professional work of teaching at the heart of a child's educational journey. Primary teachers shape the foundational skills and attitudes towards learning that children carry with them throughout their lives: literacy, numeracy, creativity, curiosity, and the social and emotional capacities needed to thrive in school and beyond. Teaching at this level requires both subject knowledge across the primary curriculum and the pedagogical understanding to develop it effectively with children at different stages of development. At York St John University, this four-year, full-time degree includes a foundation year that provides a supported entry route for students who would benefit from additional preparation before progressing to the professional teacher train
