Primary Course Vacancies for September 2021
UCAS is now open for applications.
UPDATE 16 OCTOBER: Following the announcement on Tuesday (13 Oct) that the DfE has withdrawn all funding for salaried primary programmes, we are working with WLTSA schools to work out which salaried programmes they may still be able to offer for 2021-22. Clearly schools must consider the financial implications properly so many of them have not yet been able to make a decision. Please bear with us; we will update the vacancies list as soon as we can.
All WLTSA primary teacher training courses are run in partnership with (and accredited by) either St Mary's University, Twickenham or University of Roehampton. Both universities are Ofsted 'Outstanding' providers of teacher education.
Each course has an identifying code (such as 37F8) which you need to be aware of when you apply on UCAS. Having selected the course code, you can also then select your preferred host school for that course.
The vacancy list below shows which schools are looking for trainees to start in September 2021. For each course there is a short accompanying course document (approx. 6 pages), which you can access by pressing the button linked to the course. You should read this before applying - it contains information about the course: entry requirements; descriptions of the schools and a map to show their locations; a typical timetable (for unsalaried courses); financial arrangements including our extra bursaries where relevant; and information about WLTSA and the relevant university.
