I, too, have had my application turned down. I am a nursery teacher, having qualified almost 30 years ago. I have an MA in Early Childhood Studies. I am a Foundation Stage/nursery manager in a first school and co-ordinate students throughout the school. I also mentor staff, and am an external examiner for a university. I have contributed to both national and local research projects and am at present leading the FS through a QA programme and am about to be assessed as excellent teacher (early years) for the school.
Why have I been turned down? Because I don't have a grade 3 or above qualification in maths.
