Help children aged 0-5 to learn and grow through play – prepare for a rewarding career on an ‘Outstanding’ PGCE Early Childhood Education and Care course with Early Years Teacher Status.
This course is for those who want to, and already do, work in settings such as nurseries, foundation stages, and private daycare. Because we’re rated ‘Outstanding’ for our Early Childhood Education and Care (Ofsted, 2024), you’ll get the highest standard of teaching.
We offer two pathways for this course: the Employed Pathway, designed for those currently employed in a setting delivering the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and the Entry Pathway, intended for those not currently working in the Early Years sector.
Normally GCSE grade C or Grade 4 in English Language and mathematics and science, or equivalent.
• 2.2 degree or above.
Where applicants have achieved a GCSE grade 4 or above in English literature only we will look for further evidence of a breadth of achievement in English.
You must:
• Complete a declaration of criminal convictions and health check forms.
Candidates who are successful will demonstrate a sound understanding of teaching and how children learn, where possible within a school setting. We encourage all candidates to evidence their understanding by drawing on related examples or experiences, such as time spent in schools or other learning settings. Demonstrating an ability to make links between experience and knowledge, and their proposed career would be desirable.
If you are shortlisted, we will invite you to a selection event and you should present a passport or photo driving license. You can present other forms of photo ID for the selection event, but if you do, you will still need to present valid identity documents required by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) prior to starting your course.
