APPLY PRIMARY
Step 1: Check your eligibility
What minimum qualifications do I need to train as a primary teacher?
-
GCSE grade C (grade 4) or above in English, Maths and Science, or its equivalent.
-
3rd Class Honours degree or above in any subject, or its equivalent.
-
A satisfactory enhanced DBS check which we would arrange prior to the beginning of the course.

The SCITT can support you in accessing an equivalency test which will give you what you need for Maths, English or Science GCSE. We will direct you to our preferred test provider once you have successfully gained a place on the course.
We also accept the following science equivalents:
-
OCR National Level 2 Science
-
BTEC National Level 2 Science, Applied Science or Medical Science
If all or some of your qualifications were obtained outside of the UK, we can check to see if you need to go through ENIC, who are able to check whether your qualifications are comparable to those from the UK.
If you have any further questions please contact us.
Step 2: Take time to think about the age group you would like to teach
As a primary teacher, you will specialise in either the 3-7 or 5-11 age range.
The eligibility for both is exactly the same, so it’s up to you to choose which ages you’d prefer to teach, based on your existing experiences with children.
If you have an interest in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) you may choose to opt for the 3-7 bracket.
Step 3: Apply for a course through Apply
Below, you can find the selection of age brackets and placement partners which are open for applications.
Different placement partners work in different regions of Bradford and Leeds, and we'll do our best to take your preference into account when selecting your training schools.
The links will take you to the official national pages for Postgraduate Teacher Training, where you can complete your application.
