Secondary Teaching leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) PGCE: Physical Education

Why choose this course?
Want to make a difference to the lives of young people in the classroom? Train to teach in one year with our PGCE Secondary course.

This course will enable you to become an effective, inclusive and evidence informed teacher.

Why choose this pathway?
Our Physical Education ITE programme is delivered by our team of experts in the Centre for Physical Education, Sport and Activity (CPESA).

You will join and be part of CPESA's dynamic network of physical educators and benefit from outstanding tutor input, an excellent group of partner schools with top-class in-school mentoring.

The PE components of the course will allow you to examine your values and principles and then look at how these translate into meaningful learner and learning led physical education. You will become fully familiar with the CPESA approach to teaching PE and this will hold you in good stead throughout your career. We have a very high employment record for people completing the PE course and this is down to the hard work of the trainees and the high level of research led input that allows you to deliver PE in a thoroughly inclusive way.

We also have a school direct partnership route with Gladesmore School in Tottenham (UCAS code 2ZB3). Trainee teachers on school direct and core pathways receive very similar input from the CPESA team.
