(2 Posts)Going from primary to secondary English is possible as long as you can prove to a school you have the subhect knowledge to teach the top at GCSE. If you have a degree in English then that's easier, if not you'll need to get a good route in.
The best route might be to try for a job in a school that has lower literacy levels where being primary trained will be a real asset to offer (vs high performing with high KS2 entry where subject knowledge might be questioned). You might find some schools are seeking intervention teaching and that can be a good way in as well.
The subject knowledge is likely to be the sticking point for quite a few schools.
I have been a primary teacher for over 25 years but would now like to change to teach English at secondary. Has anyone done this or know a route into this?
