What to look for in a school placement:

Students will need access to policies and will require information on safeguarding and evacuation procedures. These are mainly found on the school websites.
In class, students will initially be expected to support individuals or small groups in class with all subjects under the teacher’s supervision. As students’ progress on the course they will be able to support small groups independently or carry out interventions.
Where possible it would be beneficial for students to see the lesson plan in advance to enable them to prepare or research if necessary.
Following activities, students may be encouraged to complete brief observations on the children they have worked with and given the opportunity to share their thoughts with the teacher or class TA.
To gain the most from the placement, students are required to evaluate their performance and consider how to improve their practice. Input from an experienced staff member offering constructive advice for future practice.

Access to a computer / laptop / iPad with internet connection to attend classes via Zoom where needed and be able to upload work into the E - portfolio. Accreditation costs are included in the course fee as well as a student portal for the online E- portfolio.

We work hard to recruit sufficient numbers to ensure a course is viable to run. However occasionally we may have to close a course that is not viable. In order that the course has the best chance of recruiting this decision may be made as late as 5 working days before the start date. In this situation the offer of a place does not guarantee the course will run.
