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.
