Initial Teacher Education pre-course information

Initial School Experience

Experience from the start of the course

We expect you to complete three days primary school experience at some point between Thursday 29 August and Friday 6 September. These can be consecutive days or spread across the week and you are responsible for arranging this in a school close to you. 

To help you secure a place, you can download a letter to introduce yourself to a primary school head teacher.

During these days, complete the initial primary school experience booklet

If, despite your best efforts, you are unable to arrange a physical placement in a this school experience, please contact us so we can provide you with alternative tasks to carry out over the three days.
