Secondary Teaching

Secondary school teachers teach children from the ages of 11 to 18. You’ll plan lessons and assess work based on standards set out in the curriculum. To teach in a UK state school, you’ll need to a have a degree, and a recognised teaching qualification. There are a number of routes you can take to become a secondary school teacher. You could follow an undergraduate Initial Teacher Education or Training programme, such as a Bachelor of Education degree. Alternatively, you could do a degree – this could be in a subject you wish to specialise in like maths, science, or English – then take a postgraduate teacher training programme, such as a PGCE or PGDE. You must have a degree in the subject you have chosen to teach or a closely related one.
