Are Primary School Teachers allowed piercings?! Q&A

Today I answer some of my most asked questions about being a Primary School Teacher. I cover topics such as workload, lesson observations, preparing for the first week in a new classroom and even share an informal discussion about tattoos and piercings. I hope that this video will be useful for any new school teachers or for any trainee teachers who are starting their teaching journey.

I mention my NQT (newly qualified teacher) guide in this video. Right now, I have my guide listed for FREE, just click the link below to download it!

Speaking of working life, I am 35 and have been a professional musician for 13 years. I am now embarking on my PGCE in primary education and feeling pretty nervous. Currently in induction week.

I've only recently found your channel, and I wanted to say thanks so much for your informative advice! I'm sure you're a fantastic teacher and your advice is so helpful <3 I'm only in my NQT year, but as I'm already 30+ I don't think I'll always be a teacher either. I'd like to get my MA and become a Play Therapist

I wanna be an education assistant with kindergarteners, and I came here to know the rules for tattoos and piercings because I want a nose piercing and lip piercing so this helps a lot thank you 😊

I’m going into my 3rd year of teaching training in the UK. From experience of having placements in different schools, all ask for no tattoos to be visible. I have one on my ankle which is difficult to cover when wearing dresses and while in the school policy, no member of staff have ever had a problem with this. Regarding piercings, it was at the discretion of the school as to whether to allow face piercings. I had my nose pierced with a stud during my most recent placement, and was thinking of changing it to a ring once healed. Due to Covid-19, my piercing didn’t heal quickly enough for me to ask about changing jewellery, however I imagine it would be down to practicality. If in early years, for example, a nose ring or dangling earrings may not be suitable, however this may be different when teaching older years.

I’m just curious because I had a teacher who was very outgoing who had one and she was very open about it when it comes to piercings by bee you ever had your belly button pierced in the still have your belly ring today while teaching?

I am a substitute teacher and I have pink hair + nose piercings, I have no issues, and kids usually just ask questions and think it’s cool their sub has pink hair

Schools in sweden doesn't really care about what teachers look like and have seen and met teachers with piercings tattoos etc. Just thought i'd share.

Would you recommend to international student to become a teacher in UK and what do you think will be the most difficult stuff to deal with?

[ayesham]

I appreciate your videos a lot as they're really helpful so thank you but one question: if I've got Bachelors in Education studies alongside 2 years of teaching experience will I still need PGCE to teach internationally - Dubai?

In regards to getting to know your students vs going into formal lessons, I'd be interested to know whether any teachers are changing their initial plan due to COVID. Will they focus on the former to counteract potential impact of COVID on their mental health, or on the latter to compensate for so many months of missed time! It's a really interesting question. Loved the video xx

Hi do you know if I do school direct route or PGCE would I get the same salary as a qualified teacher primary teacher in the UK or is the salary different.

[simbobcrafts]

Are teachers allowed to be happy? Do happy teachers exist in the UK?

[TheRareVideosXL]
