Politics, International Relations, and History BA

Assessment on the BA Primary Education (QTS) programme integrates theoretical tasks with practice‑oriented evaluation to build professional capability. Learners produce lesson‑planning assignments, reflective entries and portfolio documents that illustrate understanding of curriculum design, behaviour management and special educational needs provision. Written essays and collaborative exercises further assess analytical insight and subject‑specific knowledge. Each assessment aligns with the Teachers’ Standards and is judged on logical structure, evidence‑based reasoning and practical applicability. Feedback is delivered promptly via digital platforms and face‑to‑face meetings, enabling refinement of practice before the final school placement. Completion of twenty‑four weeks of school placements in varied contexts enables translation of academic learning into classroom practice, confirming competence against national teacher‑training requirements. Assessment weighting assigns 40 % to coursework components and 60 % to placement performance, underscoring the programme’s focus on applied competence.
