Course summary
If you are passionate about physical education and believe it should be placed at the forefront of a primary school setting, then our PGCE Primary Physical Education 3-11 specialist route is for you. This pathway is embedded within our successful primary PGCE programme and aligns closely with our vision for ITE, as we aim to produce highly qualified future professionals who add value to wider society and the lives of others. The course recognises the significance that the Government places on PE in today’s primary curriculum, particularly as funding for PE, school sport and physical activity continues to be offered to primary schools in England. In order to develop high quality subject knowledge in primary PE, trainees on this programme will undertake a PE specialist masters module and will also have the opportunity to attend specialist PE training in a variety of activities.
In addition to specialist PE input, you will also undertake a masters module in the theory and practice of learning and teaching. Trainees will undertake three school-based placements during the academic year and will engage in university-based training on behaviour management, pedagogy, all primary curriculum subjects, and assessment. This course will enable you to meet the requirements for qualified teacher status (QTS).
