thanks for all your comments. my degree is a BEd so is a teaching degree. I want to be a primary school teacher because it's what i do best of all and work in a very large school in Birmingham which is not surburban bliss at the best of times.

My brother is a secondary teacher in Auckland and has friends who are in primary.one a headteacher who doesn't see any problem getting a job nearer to the new year start. On the immigration, primary teachers in auckland are mentioned on the skills list, but my brother assures me there are teaching jobs anywhere out there. My husband has been out to do a reccie with my cv too.but it's to early to get a post just now.which is why i need some extra points but where from?
