'This term I am spending the majority of my time in Key Stage 1. I am really enjoying it, despite the increase in workload, responsibility and actual teaching time. I will be teaching two full weeks by the end of the placement.

Seminars encompass contemporary issues, as well as helping students to establish professional values,' says Ms Williams.
