Hello. I originally trained as a secondary teacher (arts subject, not core) and enjoyed it for a few years. For various reasons, I have ended up being a subject specialist HoD in primary (overseas at the moment, private school although I will be back in UK 2021).
Over the years, I have fallen out of love with teaching the same subject all day and having to know hundreds of children. I think I would like to try my hand at being a class teacher in primary although I know it's a very different beast. I work in a primary school now, so I am totally aware of what the job entails - I just haven't done it. I like the idea of upper primary - year 5 or 6. Now, I've got my wants out the way I realise that this is much harder than it sounds to actually achieve. Has anybody made this switch? How did you achieve it and do you feel it was a good move?
