The core element of a T Level in education and childcare will allow you to develop your knowledge and understanding of a broad range of topics such as child development, safeguarding and special educational needs, as well as learning about the role of families and support agencies. You will learn to provide children with a range of knowledge and skills to help them develop a foundation for good progress throughout their lives. You will be able to support young children aged from birth to five years in the Early Years Foundation stage.
All students will develop an understanding of:
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above in appropriate areas, including English and maths, or a CACHE level 2 Diploma plus GCSEs or Functional Skills at level 2 in English and maths. Those considering a career in primary teaching or nursing will also require at least Grade 4 in GCSE Science.
Safeguarding you as students and the children and young people you will be caring for on placement is extremely important to SCG so you must complete a DBS check on enrolment.
