I think there's a channel called the "teacher's channel" or something like that. their should be a website with past vids. Hope this helps ^_^

Have you tried teachers.tv? What was the video made for - if it's a government thing it might be available through the Department for Schools, Children and Families (DCSF) www.dcsf.gov.uk Hope you find it.

Could do some kind of Science degree depending on the University to build up a good knowledge base, then do a 1 year PGCE following that, which would get you Qualified Teacher Status. Or complete a KS2 Secondary education with QTS, but the amount of chemistry being taught would be limited.

As long as you go to an AVMA accredited school then your degree is exactly the same as if you graduated in the US. There are a few AVMA accredited schools outside the US... here's the list. http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/colleges_accredited/foreign.asp There's a couple of things you need to realize though. In the UK, veterinary medicine is an 5 year undergraduate program. This is different in the US where you need a bachelor's degree to study veterinary medicine. In the UK, they complete what are called A levels while US students are in high school. These A levels are very intense studies of a few select subjects. For for those interested in vet med is typically includes biology, chemistry, and physics. For the most part, these are equivalent to the pre-vet coursework that you would complete in undergrad and not your high school level courses. So, you would probably not be qualified to enter the program as an undergraduate (although if you take the right AP tests you might be able to apply). Now, most schools do accept students with a bachelor's degree for a 4 year program. But, you need to realize that you will be going to school with 18 year olds. But, as long as you choose of the AVMA accredited programs, you will only need to take the same national boards that all US grads take. If you don't attend an AVMA accredited program you will need to take additional tests (which are extremely expensive) and you run the risk of not passing if the program didn't teach you want the boards test on. Keep in mind that they have different diseases and different focuses in the UK than in the US so many of the things that US schools emphasize (and are on the boards) will not be the same as in the UK. So, you will need to prepare differently for the NAVLE than most US students.

Choose the school and ring to speak to the head teacher,He or she will let you know if there is a space available for your son,and if not recommend another school.Good luck.
2 :
you'd need to be living in this country... to send him to a uk state school, find out from your local county council the schools in your area, and contact the schools as to their admission process if you want your child to go to a uk boarding school, you'll need to pay - they're all private
3 :
Either visit the local school in your area or phone your council to see what schools are in your catchment area that your son is eligible to apply to. On enrolling, the school will ask for his birth certificate but, other than that, it's just a case of informing the school as he will be entitled to schooling if he's resident here.
