Happy Diwali to all those celebrating the Festival of Lights. If you are less familiar with this five-day festival celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains, check out this link: goodhousekeeping.com/holidays/a3768… & this one for working with children: bbc.co.uk/newsround/1545…

One more sleep until our Level 6s return! We are really excited to have them back for their second and final year. We're ready to prepare them for their futures! @EducationLBU @EstherM_Cummins @marcturu @kfleming100 @AntonisKtenidis @JuliaJonesJJ1 @RachelCBoyle1

Eek! One more sleep until our new students join us! We know the nerves kick in but are sure that you will all feel settled very quickly. @EstherM_Cummins @marcturu @kfleming100 @AntonisKtenidis @JuliaJonesJJ1 are all ready to support you throughout your time with us.

We are a week away from meeting our new first years. We can't promise the Rock but @marcturu has been prepping your first modules, @kfleming100 has a fantastic induction sorted, and @EstherM_Cummins @AntonisKtenidis and @JuliaJonesJJ1 are excited about seeing you too.

Former student Josh says, "The accelerated degree introduces you to the many influential factors in a child’s education... As a successful trainee and now KS2 teacher, I would highly recommend the accelerated degree..." leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/primar… @RachelCBoyle1 @EducationLBU

Graduating student @CaitlinJ239 says, "I have found the accelerated degree to be a great choice... The course content has been incredibly interesting,&level 4 is well designed for students learning study skills before exploring more content in levels 5&6". leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/primar…

We have a number of students who are also parents. We plan ahead so that we avoid sessions in Leeds school holidays, record lectures, prepare materials in advance, and keep the timetable as regular as possible. This course is for everyone! Join us in Sept: leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/primar…

Many of our students have secured places on PGCEs and on MAs. Our course fast-tracks students to where they want to be. It is fast-paced and develops graduate attributes. There are still a few places left for Sept- join us! leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/primar… @EducationLBU @RachelCBoyle1

Did you know that, if you have a disability, long-term health condition, mental-health condition, or specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia, extra help is available in the form of Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs)?leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/primar…

So proud of @CaitlinJ239, one of our graduating students. Well done on making a difference to those around you :)

Imagine being on a degree that links theory & primary educational practice, taught by lecturers who are experienced &think every child has the right to education. Imagine education is REALLY for everyone. Don't imagine- apply now. leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/primar… @RachelCBoyle1

Inclusion is more than supporting pupils with SEND. It is supporting all pupils. Students on our degrees look at how they can become inclusive practitioners in every sense of the word and the importance of making this a lifelong commitment. leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/primar… @EducationLBU

It's 9 days until our Open Day when you can chat with course leader @marcturu about the accelerated degree course. Whether you plan to start this August or next, book here: leedsbeckett.ac.uk/undergraduate/… @RachelCBoyle1 @damien_page @EducationLBU

We are delighted to announce that one of our lecturers @kfleming100 passed her doctoral viva last week. Katrina's research will be invaluable to students in sessions as student feedback techniques, content, and as a dissertation supervisor.

Our level 5 students have just begun their last module of the level & semester, their 12th module of the year. They are exploring alternative education settings, considering the value of school trips, residentials, &being outdoors. What a great way to end the year! @EducationLBU

From today, our Covid-19 test centre on Headingley Campus will also serve as a collection point for rapid lateral flow tests. You can collect tests to take away or use on site. Help is available from staff. Please remember to record all results on the Gov website.

Excellent discussion with @MBaiutti from @Intercultura_IT on the role of #internationalisation of education and #intercultural competence to foster cultural understanding, inclusion and a better more sustainable future. @LBU_EdPsych @EducationLBU

To all of our students celebrating Eid, we wish you a happy time.  Whilst we know that restrictions will impact your celebrations, we hope that you have a joyful time with those you can see.
