A week in the life of a UK Primary Teacher

[@graciegarner7760]

I loved this video! I’m currently doing my GCSE’s and have aspired to be a primary school teacher for a few years now. Most videos on KZbin are American so it was great being able to see the uk perspective as I live in the uk. Please make more! x

So glad you find them helpful

[@misslauren81]

This was really useful, particularly seeing your class layout, outfits, and honest leaving times. I'm a NQT about to start this year and am obviously nervous about beginning my career. Any chance of a video with specific things to prepare for e.g. how to decide what to teach first in maths etc. GREAT CHANNEL!

[@DisplayLady]

Miss Lauren your school will usually have something for you to follow but maths is pretty simple start with number and place value. :)

[@gdaybecYT]

Started watching this because I want to train to be a teacher and just wanted to say that I'm also on roaccutane so when you mentioned that I thought I'd leave a comment! I know how fatiguing roaccutane can be so wish you the best of luck with it and wanted to say I really enjoyed the video!

[@DisplayLady]

rebeccalynda thank you for commenting And watching! Yes it’s very hard work now going into almost my 5th month I think... my skin is so much better now but defiantly have side effects. How are you doing with yours? How exciting that you want to train- have you applied/ are you applying for teacher training?

[@gdaybecYT]

Display Lady I’m on my 7th month which is my last! It is tough! How much longer do you have left do you know? Glad your skin is getting better! I’m super happy with mine it’s just the scarring I worry about now haha. I have just started applying for a PGCE but hoping to get some volunteering work done first to get some experience! Bit worried I’ve left it too late to start this September but hoping I can. It’s really helpful seeing videos like this X

[@DisplayLady]

I have about a month and half left on the tablets so I’ll be glad when that’s done! Then I have some topical stuff. I know what you mean about the scarring! 🙈 I think I had to apply in the December before so I’m not sure if you can do it now for September! Defiantly look into it soon. Good luck with your applications!

Georgia Rose if it helps at all you could always do your degree in forensic psychology and then do a PGCE if you still wanted to be a teacher? Always an option :) my only word of caution would be to check PGCE entry requirements just in case! :)

Hey, loving this video! I’m currently in year 9 and I’m so passionate about being a primary school teacher. But I have so many questions, if you should just answer one of them I’d be so happy! 1) What is the best degree to take at uni? 2) Is there anything after uni, like any other qualifications? 3) Is there a dress code? Thank you so much. God bless ❤️

[@DisplayLady]

Hello! Well a primary education degree that gives you QTS (qualified teacher status) will be the most training you can do. Alternatively, if you did a different degree you’d need to do a PGCE or similar to get QTS. Schools have different dress codes but generally just professional dress nothing too short or too low :)

[@onyinyechukwuubadigha237]

Display Lady thank you 😁

[@DisplayLady]

Start with your GCSEs and make sure you get C+ (sorry I know it’s numbers now but i don’t know the equivalent) in English, Maths and science. Then just subjects you enjoy. :) you will have to get a degree in education or another subject then a route to teaching if QTS isn’t included in your degree. :)

Think careful about your A levels try and do a core subject but otherwise pick subjects you will do well in. Volunteer or get some work experience in a school to make sure it’s the right choice for you. :)

[@cigoh3916]

I’m currently studying Early years (BTEC) they mainly focus on ages 0-7 however you will be able to go to placement and do placement (work experience) at a proper nursery/preschool/reception. How ever if you go to university you can do a course called ‘primary education studies QTS (qualified teacher status) which focuses on ages 5-11 years. I hope this helps. Ask me if you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer.
