 School-based training

School-based training in a partnership placement school forms an important element of each year of study.

You will be asked to complete a school-based training information form when you start your primary education degree course and we will use this information to match you to a suitable placement. We will consider your previous experience, travelling distance, the age phases you wish to teach, and your current needs.

We will fully prepared leading up to your school-based training and will be supported by both the university and a school-based mentor throughout your training. Almost all of our placements will be with partner schools in south-east England, most of them in East and West Sussex.

In your first year you will spend a week in school in semester 1 followed by a block of approximately seven weeks in school in semester 2. You will be paired with another trainee and will teach a maximum 50% timetable.

In your second year you will be in school for a block of approximately two months. This will again be a paired placement and you will teach to a 50% timetable that builds to 75% towards the end of School-Based Training 2.

In your final year you will be in school for another three months but this time you will teach with increased autonomy and up to a 75% timetable. The final placement is not paired.

I have really loved all four of my teaching placements, which have been incredibly varied, from a small village school with mixed year groups to a large urban primary school with a diverse intake.

Jennifer Lamb, Primary Education with QTS (3–7 years) BA(Hons)

Before going on placement, the university provided lots of information so I felt fully prepared. I was warmly welcomed by the teaching staff who made every effort to support my needs and offered many opportunities for observing and learning.

Tim Laing, joint course leader

Tim is one of the course leaders of our Primary Education with QTS courses specialising in primary physical education and has over 20 years’ experience in primary education

Tim gained a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science before starting his career in primary education. He worked as a support teacher for children with complex needs and as a PE and school sport teacher in a preparatory school before completing a PGCE in Primary Education. He moved to Brighton as a year 4 class teacher in his NQT year and over the next 10 years taught across all age phases as a class teacher, as well as taking on the role of PE subject leader. Tim then created a role as the school’s first primary PE specialist teacher which enabled him to transform and sustainably improve the school’s PE and school sport provision, which he was then able to replicate across a number of local schools.

Tim's career at the University of Brighton started as a part-time lecturer in primary PE, teaching one day per week alongside his work as a primary class teacher and PE specialist in school. He developed his role to Senior Lecturer in Primary Education, teaching Education Studies alongside PE. Tim now leads both primary PE subject study modules, as well as teaching primary PE across all primary education courses at the School of Education. With a focus on course operations, Tim leads the Primary Education with QTS BA course with Polly Herbert. 

Tim says of being a primary school class teacher: “I love making a positive difference to the lives of children. As a primary school teacher, I love being an ambassador and advocate for all subjects – getting to be an art, science, history, geography, English, PE, RE, science, maths, computing, music and PSHE teacher is incredible. I love that no day is the same. I love learning as much from the children as they learn from me!” 

“We support all students by putting them at the heart of all we do. I am proud of each and every one of our students as they complete the course, take their first steps in their teaching careers and begin to improve the lives of the children in their care.”

Student Views  

Oliver Moutrey

After deciding that I wanted to pursue a career in education, the choice to choose Brighton was so easy. The university is rated outstanding for teaching and I lived 45 minutes away from campus and saw it an easy commute to make.

The course is absolutely incredible, it’s very practical and hands on but it can be challenging as well. The most interesting aspects of the course have to be working collaboratively as a group, there are so many ideas bouncing off one another and it’s a truly great environment to be in.

All of the staff have been absolutely incredible. They are engaging and aspiring people and have a lot of knowledge about what they teach.

This course helps you to prepare you for your future career. Staff show you how to plan, teach, assess and improve in your own teaching from this. School-based training on top of this ultimately helps shape you as a teacher and is a really powerful resource

I can safely say that the lecturers really do provide an insight on their experiences - they help you understand and underpin relevant strategies and ways to teach children and how to best support them in most situations. I can already see an incredible transformation in myself as a teacher from when I first started the course to where I am now.

Abbey Pope

I have always had a passion for teaching since a very young age. I saw teachers as being very inspirational as they have the potential to make a huge impact on children’s lives, and I knew that I wanted to do that in my life.

The insight and experiences the staff share open your ways of thinking as they support you in understanding the relevant teaching strategies and help build your own pedagogical views and style of teaching. I’m currently in my second year and I can already see a huge difference in my confidence and subject knowledge as I start to become the teacher I envisaged at the start of the course. 

One thing which I have absolutely loved about the course is the opportunity to work with other students. I have found this very helpful as you are able to hear different perspectives and bounce off ideas from one another. I have also enjoyed every single lecture as they are very practical and engaging but often challenge your own thinking and reflections of your own school career.

The university has had a positive impact on my life. It has transformed me into a person who is lot more confident, experienced, and ready to take on my own classroom in 2024.

I am excited to see what the future holds, and I know that I will have a solid foundation to be an excellent teacher because of the skills and knowledge I have learnt during my time at the University of Brighton.
