If you chose to become a primary school teacher, you would need a degree in education, or a PGCE. You can get a degree in most subjects and still teach in primary schools. But you would need a PGCE or another teaching qualification as well. And you might have to prove your knowledge to teach Maths and English at primary schools if they aren't your specialist subjects.

The best thing I did was check with local schools. Maybe there are job advertisements that will show you what they are looking for, which is a decent guide.
