Views of 1st Year trainees on BA (Hons) Primary Education
“Manchester itself was a completely new city to me but I am very glad that I have chosen to come here – I am having lots of fun, with so many exciting things to experience. Managing my social life and university together feels like a lot of work”

“I love my placement, I settled in very quickly with all staff and pupils. I was immediately recognised as teaching staff, which was essential to me as I knew how important it is for the teachers’ and pupils respect.

(Catherine, Yorks)
