In this course you develop your skills and boost your employability by studying our PGCE Secondary Physical Education with an EBacc pathway in either computing, English, geography, history or mathematics. Upon successful completion of your chosen route, you’ll gain a recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status. Play a key role in training to teach young people and keeping them active. Not only will you be able to showcase your enthusiasm for physical education in schools and share the benefits of movement on the body and mind, but you’ll also develop the knowledge and skills to train to teach in an additional subject with one of our EBacc subject pathways. Studying on one of our PGCE Secondary Physical Education with EBacc pathways, will prepare you for the rigours of teaching physical education and your additional subject in secondary settings. You’ll already have an undergraduate degree in an area related to physical education, so we’ll focus on helping you develop the skills you need to engage young people with the subject. You will discover the most effective ways of delivering your lessons and captivating your students. At the same time, develop your understanding of subject specific approaches, classroom management, adaptive teaching and the different ways pupils learn.
You will be expected to have: a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honours (2:2 or above) in a subject which is relevant to Physical Education. Other subjects may be considered if you have an A Level (or equivalent qualification) in a relevant subject and a willingness to engage in a subject knowledge enhancement course, subject to availability, GCSE English Language or English Literature and GCSE Mathematics at Grade C or Grade 4 or above (or equivalent qualification), satisfactory levels of Information and Communications Technology competence, and a commitment to, and understanding of, secondary education, demonstrating the personal attributes, values and motivation required to train as a teacher. In addition to the above, you will also be expected to meet the following entry requirement: Grade C or above (or equivalent) at A level in the EBacc subject you have chosen, or in a subject deemed by the Department of Secondary and Further Education as being sufficiently related and relevant. For the purposes of initial teacher training, level 2 literacy and numeracy qualifications are not considered as equivalent to GCSE Grade C or Grade 4 in English Language or English Literature and Mathematics.
