Beth Ives - Teaching

I started LSATPAC in 2007 and left in 2013, I continued on at the high school for sixth form as I wanted to do a combination of BTEC's and ALevels and the sixth form was the most practical for me as it was close to home and I already knew teachers there. In sixth form I studied; 

- BTEC Children's Care Learning and Development (equivalent to 2 ALevels) 

- English Language 

- Philosophy and Ethics 

When I left in 2013 I had managed to get A-C in all of the GCSE's which I studied including Maths, English and Science. 

In terms of my ALevels I got 2 Distinction's in my BTEC, a C in Philosophy and Ethics and a D in English Language. 

Prior to sitting my final exams I had applied to 5 universities including Edge Hill which was my first choice, I had applied to do Primary Education with QTS. I had to attend an interview where I had to prepare a presentation and had to present to the rest of the group and then This was a very difficult course to get onto and I needed to get 320 UCAS points in my ALevels. 

Due to my results I got into my first choice at Edge Hill University where I am now currently studying. I have recently finished my first teaching practice and got graded 'good' in all lesson observations and overall. 

When I leave university I plan on moving back to the Lytham, St Annes area and finding a teaching job in a local school.
