Summary
Are you passionate about sport? Looking for a career where you can channel your interests to help children get active? You can nurture lifelong health and wellbeing as a Primary School teacher with a specialism in Physical Education.
Our respected PGCE course fully supports you in your journey from student teacher to fully-fledged professional. And, because the programme has QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) built-in, you can apply for a position as a teacher the minute you graduate.
COURSE OVERVIEW Grounded in the learning of our acclaimed PGCE General Primary, this PE pathway allows you to hone your pedagogy to lead and manage PE in a primary school setting. This unique course pathway gives you the opportunity to develop a lifelong love of health, wellbeing and sport in the children you teach.
