    Hello,
    I'm also applying for primary education and am applying at york st john, oxford brookes, bishop gross. (Lincoln), Winchester and Leeds!
    SO far have had been asked for interview at ysj and winchester but were both on the same date so have had to ask for a different date for winchester!

    I am applying for junior. But Worcester doesn't give you the option until the second year. I'd love to teach year 3-6

    I think it took at least 3 weeks! So you may have to wait a bit!
    I hate having to wait though!!! )

    Re: Where are you appling for Primary Education?
    Can I just ask, which universities are considered better for Primary Ed (specifically early years)? It's just that my little sister wants to do it (she's in year 11 now but has already decided) and is only really thinking about St Mary's (close to home and in an area she knows). So, which have the prestige and respect? I just don't want her to limit herself to one place just because it's close.

    I did something something similar at one. Just choose something, I don't think it really matters what. I guess they are looking for your enthusiasm, the way you present yourself and the way that you try to get things across to others.
    Good Luck!

    Sorry, not really. I think we had to choose from a lsit of things but I can't remember the details. Maybe pick something you are passionate about and know a lot about.
