hey can some one help me i have finished my GCSE and now choosing my A level but i'am confused about which four A level i should choose in order to become a primary school teacher so can any one please help me thanks S

I know my University were only really interested in National Curriculum subjects. Having an A level in one of the key three (Maths/English/Science) is a great bonus for applications. Then think about what else could be a useful skill, e.g. music, p.e.
Hopefully these match your strengths and interests as well as of course you want to choose subjects you actually like too

It depends on the uni you want to go to as well, some want certain A levels and some dont. I did an advanced vocational course (i think its called) that was worth 3 A levels in health and social care, i also did a A level in sociology and then i did a business management degree and now starting my PGCE Primary this sept. But my uni didnt require certain A levels and were ok with everything i have and did. You should also do what you enjoy, i did A levels and a degree in what i would enjoy but that would also get me into an alternative career if getting into teaching would take time. So i would also consider having a back up in case teaching doesnt work out.

best advice is choose a broad range of A levels so either one of the core three (maths , english , science ).... then humanities ..and also health and social care can be good aswell..

but i would reccommend maths, english, history and either music/p.e/health and social care

just a broad range but play to your stregnths

Some uni's have certain requirements and others don't. The ones with requirements like you to take a humanities subject as well as a core subject such as english language/literature, maths or a science. It's best to pick 4 that will give you different skills and are all quite broad as then you can keep your opportunities open when it comes to deciding what university you want to go to. Some also like you to have full A levels in certain subjects so if your dropping one of your 4 subjects after the first year then research which ones you need full A levels for and drop the one you don't.

You don't need Law to become a lawyer, in fact most unis don't really like you to have Law at A level if you want to do Law at uni. You're better off doing an essay subject like history or english lit.

[pineapple86]

But it might be a good idea to do law at a level just to get a feel on the subject to make sure you want to do law if you dont do teaching.

Instead of going English lit would it be good if I did English language because I like it better
