Primary education degree personal statement?

Question

I am currently writing a draft copy of my personal statement for ucas. I was wondering if anybody with previous experience could give me any advice that could help make my statement as best as possible.

I just sort of need a frame in mind on what to consider.

Answer 1

Well, I am a secondary teacher but I'll give you some similar topics that I put in mine -

Fundamental beliefs - ones that relate to Every Child Matters are good,

Experience with children - don't put baby sitting or sibblings!,

Relevant qualifications,

Professional attributes that can help e.g... literacy, numeracy etc,

Ambition and your target - e.g... do you want to work with older children and what would you like to influence in their life?

I hope that helps, if you wanted someone to read through it then send me a msg I would be more than happy too.
