Tuition Fee
Costs🎓

Programme Cost
The cost of the programme is £9,535 for the full year of training with financial support available.

Our Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme offers you the skills, confidence, and nationally recognised qualifications to begin a rewarding career as a primary school teacher.

You’ll gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a PGCE awarded by Bath Spa University, all while learning in a supportive school environment from day one.

Funding Your
Career📚

You don’t have to pay your tuition fees upfront. Tuition Fee Loans are available from Student Finance England to cover the full cost of your training.

Tuition Fee loans are not means tested, meaning everyone is eligible, regardless of household income.

In addition, you may also be eligible for a Maintenance Loan to help with your living costs during your training year.

With these funding options, you can focus on developing your teaching skills without worrying about paying your fees before you qualify.

Benefits💸

A career in primary teaching offers not only the chance to make a lasting difference in children’s lives, but also a competitive salary and a wide range of benefits.

Once you qualify as a teacher, you can expect a minimum starting salary of £31,650 – and even more if you work in London.
