Primary School Teacher

Primary school teachers in the UK work with children aged 4 to 11, helping them to develop essential skills in subjects such as English, maths, science, and art. The role involves preparing lessons, teaching classes, marking work, and supporting pupils both academically and emotionally. Teachers also work closely with parents and other staff to ensure children make good progress and feel safe. The job can be demanding but is highly rewarding, as teachers play a key role in shaping a child's early education and confidence. To become a primary school teacher, you typically need a degree and a recognised teaching qualification such as a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education).
