Covid Vaccinations

The Government passed legislation requiring vaccination as a condition of deployment, which was due to commence from 1 April 2022. The Secretary of State announced that this is being reconsidered and is set to be revoked. The Government’s decision is subject to Parliamentary process and will require further consultation and a vote to be passed into legislation.  The Government has indicated that it plans to work with Royal Colleges and professional regulators to strengthen guidance and consult on updates to the Department of Health and Social Care's Code of Practice for regulated providers to strengthen the requirements in relation to COVID-19, which applies to all Care Quality Commission (CQC registered) providers of all health and social care in England.  The legislation that was passed would have required you to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination to the university, before joining your programme. While the legal requirement on deployment is set to be revoked, being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (unless exempt) is important to protect both service users and the workforce across the health and social care sector.  As the Law has not yet changed and we are unsure of what local practice placement providers will require, we recommend that you receive any Covid -19 vaccinations that you are eligible for, in advance of your programme commencing.  As soon as we know what the final Government decision is on this matter we will be back in touch with further information.

You will be able to study each subject; gaining knowledge and understanding of the teaching and learning relating to these subjects with young children across the 3-7 and 7-11 age phases. You will be introduced to the curriculum and approaches in; English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, Physical Education, Art and Design, Music, History, Geography, Design and Technology and Religious Education as well as aspects of Personal, Social and Emotional Development. You will study each of the subjects as a discrete subject, which supports you in developing insights into the uniqueness of each of the subjects and the contribution each makes to the education of the whole child. You will also develop some insights into subject specific applications, pedagogy and integrated learning, which is explored further in Curriculum Studies 2, throughout year 2 of your programme.

You will carry out a personal skills audit in each subject area (including Early Reading and Early Mathematics) to ensure that your individual needs are catered for and throughout the module you will be required to engage with the use of e-based and other learning resources to support your subject knowledge development. You will be required to utilise this subject knowledge across your placement opportunities throughout the year in Educational Placements 1, and in University via a poster presentation, a ‘learning mind-map’ which explores the potential learning opportunities drawn from a children’s book in either age phase (3-7 or 7-11). This is inclusive of subject specific learning opportunities and theoretical underpinning, and acts as the final summative assessment for this module. All of which in turn will help to provide you with a framework of experiences and training, which will help your development along your journey to becoming a confident, enthusiastic and successful teacher.
