About the course

This course will enable you to study across the Primary age range in schools that are experienced in supporting school direct students. We have links with a primary special school and students visit as well as days in a Secondary School. A second placement is normally arranged with one of our partner schools. As lead school we are a flagship school for Inclusion and you will gain knowledge in a range of SEND and EAL. We have a schools direct lead who meets with all students in the summer term before starting the course for our own induction alongside the University induction days. Students attend school 4 days a week and one day at University. Depending on previous experience the timetable varies to ensure each student is treated as an individual. You will have a professional mentor and a teacher mentor in school who will both make sure you do not feel overloaded with work. Our schools direct lead also checks in on all students to ensure they are supported and progressing on the course. The teacher mentor will observe and give feedback normally weekly once you are taking class responsibility. The professional mentor will also observe you with the tutor from the University. These are very much developmental observations to support your progress on the course.
