Course SummaryTake the School-based PGCE route to become an Early Career Teacher in a primary school in one year.

You will work mainly out of a single school selected by our lead partner organisation.Training to be a primary school teacher with Marjon will mean you enter a proud tradition of outstanding teacher training.

We will start to talk to you about your ambitions from the first moment we meet you.If you've not already had an offer to continue teaching in a placement school after you graduate, our jobs fair in late winter is an opportunity for many teaching trainees to meet potential employers, practice interviews and to finalise an offer for their first role in September. After you graduate we keep in touch.You will get to develop your subject knowledge with Lead Partners on Design and Technology (Food), Computing, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Modern Languages, Music, Physical Education, Physics and Religious Education.
