yeh but u should still do the volunteering at a school-as it shows that you have a background of actually working with kids-and you can get a reference like this as well...
No. Primary teaching is competitive and they want people with experience. Plus, you have to interview for it, pass qts checks etc. It's not an easy course to get on.

My aunty (1.5 years older than me) chose primary school teaching as a degree course, without any experience. I think uni provides "on the job" training essentially

Age is relevant as it's not like she did this course yonks ago. It's relatively recent.
