SELECTION CRITERIA: We may use selection criteria based on your personal attributes; experience and/or commitment to the area of study. This information will be derived from your personal statement and reference and will only be used if you have met the general entry requirements and only if you are suitable will you be invited to an interview. INTERVIEW REQUIRED: PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE: Usually require evidence of experience working with children of different ages within the 5-11 age-range. This would include some experience in Key Stage One (i.e. Year 1 or Year 2) AND Key Stage 2 (i.e. Year 3 or 4 or 5 or 6). This should normally equate to about 10-15 days in total in classrooms, 5 of which need to have been gained within 12 months prior to application. Whilst not a condition of entry, we acknowledge the value of additional experience working with children in contexts other than school. PROFESSIONAL SKILLS TESTS: Applicants must have passed the Professional Skills tests in Literacy and Numeracy before starting the course. Further information about registering for and completing these tests can be found on the Department for Education website. You should look to complete both tests as soon as you have submitted your application. We encourage you to use the practice material available on the DfE website to help you decide whether you are ready to book a live test or whether you should undertake further preparation prior to taking the test. Suitable applicants will be invited to an interview via Skype as part of the admissions process. INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE 26 Points
