Primary School Teaching - Help need

[Charleeboo]

(I posted this in the Wanted section but realised I might get a better response here)

Hi all,

I have finally decided to retain and become a primary school teacher, however in order to complete my application I need to demonstrate some work experience in a school.

I would like to teach lower primary e.g. KS1 and wondered if there were any primary school teachers on the forum (or anyone with connections to a school) who may be able to offer me some work experience (ideally between 5-10 days). I have an enhanced CRB and I am quite flexible regarding dates.

Due to government changes regarding tuition fees I doubt very much that I will be in the position to apply to study in 2012, so I am hoping to go through clearing this summer. Although I have experience shadowing a class a few years ago, my course requires me to have experience in the year I wish to apply (this September), so I am urgently seeking an opportunity to sit-in and observe a primary school class.

If anyone can help, or has suggestions of possible schools I can approach please PM.

Thanks

Char

Well I would start by approaching all the local primary schools! If you are going as a volunteer (ie free) I am sure any school would welcome some extra, CRB checked help!

best of luck
