Course summary

Successful completion of the programme leads to recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Everyone needs a healthy lifestyle. The earlier we learn how to be fit and active, the easier it becomes to maintain these habits in adulthood. As a PE specialist, you’ll show children aged 5-11 how to be physically active in fun and engaging ways, and learn how to teach the national curriculum for all key stage 1 and 2 subjects.

By spending significant time in placements in schools, you’ll become a confident practitioner who meets Teachers’ Standards. You’ll gain the essential skills, knowledge and attitude for a two-year induction as an early career teacher, teaching the entire primary curriculum.

As this is a PGCE primary physical education specialist course, you’ll finish it as an expert in teaching this subject. You’ll inspire children to be physically fit and encourage your peers to deliver equally engaging lessons.

Your future career

This PGCE is accredited by the Department for Education. Successful completion of the programme will enable you to gain recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). You will be well placed to progress into employment as an early career teacher in a primary school.

You’ll meet and exceed the national standards for Qualified Teacher Status, thanks to your specialist physical education expertise, primary curriculum knowledge and confidence in the classroom. Your enthusiasm for PE and the whole primary curriculum will inspire children across key stages 1 and 2. This may lead to you accepting a subject leadership role within a school.

You’ll know how to reflect on your own professional progress and think critically about education sector developments. You’ll complete a live exam called a VIVA at the end of the course, which your personal tutor will support you with. This is your opportunity to celebrate all you’ve achieved throughout the degree. You’ll also take a professional portfolio out with you into your graduate career.
