Primary Education (5-11) with QTS Bath Spa University

You'll learn both through university-based exploration of educational theory and more hands-on classroom delivery. You'll explore not just the why but also how children learn. You'll think critically about research, national initiatives and classroom practice and learn how to evaluate your practice reflectively.

On the Bath Spa Primary teaching degree, we take a holistic approach to child development. You'll explore how a child's learning and wellbeing can be supported by the whole community, including parents and carers, families and schools. You'll learn how to build relationships outwith the classroom to support child development.

You'll develop a subject specialism in both a core subject (English, Maths and Science) and a foundation subject (History, Geography, Modern Foreign Languages, Art, Music, Computing, Design Technology, Physical Education, PSHE, RE).

On this Education degree, you'll have the opportunity to establish yourself with a community of Bath Spa researchers to explore cutting-edge questions and issues that will directly impact your future practice.

Placements are a key part of this BA in Primary Education with QTS course. You'll spend several weeks a year training in a range of schools or settings, allowing you to become familiar with their ethos and practice. You'll be fully supported by expert colleagues in schools to develop your teaching skills through practice and reflection.
