Early Years Education Student

I chose West Lancashire College because it offered the course I wanted to take and is my local college. I have gained so much work experience on my programme and I am currently on placement at St Richard’s Primary School which I love. My tutors are beyond amazing and have been so supportive. After I complete my course, I want to go on to study a BA in Primary Education with QTS.

Supported Learning and Teaching

During lockdown, I started to think deeply about my ambition of teaching children. I took the plunge to call Mell, one of the course tutors at West Lancs College. Mell made me feel at ease and I felt reassured that I was about to make the right choice. I have loved every minute of my course and especially enjoyed the theory elements. I absolutely loved my placement days, as I could start to put all the theory into practice and very quickly, I began to find my feet and I was becoming one of the EYFS team. In February, I successfully secured a full-time job at my placement school and I continue to love every minute of my job. I have been told that I am moving up to year 1 with my current class and will be teaching the class to cover the class teacher’s PPA, so I am very excited for the next chapter.
