I would love to be a primary school teacher but i have no idea what A Levels (which i am doing at the moment) you need to be one. What are good A Levels to take to be a primary school teacher and if there are any primary school teachers on here what A Levels did you take and how did you get into teaching?

It's probably best to do at least one core subject such as English, Maths or a Science. But I don't think it's necessary. I took English, German and Media Studies then went on to do an English degree at University. I then did a PGCE in primary teaching. I made sure I had experience of being in a school environment before I attempted to get onto a teaching course though.

you can learn practically any subjects you want to degree level, and then just do a PGCE. most institutions are more concerned that you have the ambition and the ability to teach, so experience in a school environment is essential before you apply for the PGCE.

do you need a levels? isn't it just a gcses in maths, science and english in at least a C grade and a pgce? think that's all you need for primary school teaching.x
