    PGCE in Wales but NQT in England - primary?
    Is it possible to complete a PGCE in Wales in primary education (lower school 3-7) and then do my NQT year in England? I'm asking in regards to the difference between the Welsh Foundation Phase and the English Foundation Stage. Would my training in Wales be an issue?

    Huh I don't know, I'd like to know the answer so I'll bump this thread for you. I just assumed training in Wales meant you'd be qualified for further training or even teaching in England.
