Primary School Teacher Training
Your pathway to becoming an inspiring Primary school teacher.
Train to be a Primary school teacher
If you’re ready to train to be a Primary school teacher, our expert-led programme provides the knowledge, confidence and real-world experience you need to thrive in the classroom. Futures Teaching Alliance offers exceptional Primary teacher training designed to prepare you to teach across the full Primary curriculum and become a highly skilled teacher.
Primary education covers:
Key Stage 1 (ages 5–7 / years 1–2)
Pupils begin building foundational skills in reading, writing, number fluency and scientific thinking. You’ll learn how to create nurturing, structured learning environments that support early development.
Key Stage 2 (ages 7–11 / years 3–6)
Children deepen their understanding across the curriculum while developing independence, problem-solving skills and collaboration. You’ll develop strategies to challenge, motivate and extend learning for all pupils
