What gcses do you need to be a primary school teacher?

To become a primary school teacher in the UK, you don't need specific GCSE subjects, but you'll generally need a good range of GCSEs (or equivalent qualifications) at grade 4/C or above, including English and Mathematics. While there's no prescribed list beyond English and Maths, a strong performance across a variety of subjects demonstrates a well-rounded education and is advantageous in the application process. Some universities might prefer or even require certain other GCSEs, especially in science subjects. It's best to check the entry requirements of individual universities you're interested in.
