If she did a Childhood Studies type of degree ,could she teach Art in Secondary and maybe Primary Schools ?She has A level Art ,B grade and Maths and Sociology AS ,grade B.She can find no advice on this.Many Thanks.

To be honest, 5 minutes googling found this course for secondary art and design teaching PGCE. It has the following requirement.

'We are looking for candidates with normally either a degree in their subject or related to it, or for candidates with a non-related degree an A level in the subject at C or above.'

find-postgraduate-teacher-training.education.gov.uk/course/2AT/AK12

This was the first course on the list.

She could phone one of the courses and ask if her chances of getting on to the course is reduced by not having a relevant degree.

Secondary teaching usually requires degree level in main subject plus pgce or equivalent.

I would think trying to get into a school by being a TA and then seeing if she can get into teaching via that route. I don’t think she has the qualifications for secondary teaching with a B at A level art.

She could do an art degree of course and they often select by portfolio so she might have a better chance or do a foundation course. Move into teaching after but it won’t be easy.

She would need to do a PGCE or equivalent to be a teacher in a state school. Some independent schools will consider other qualifications.
