PGCE Secondary Physical Education (PE)

Our Physical Education (PE) PGCE course continues the tradition of producing outstanding practitioners of secondary PE. You will be assessed on your ability to teach pupils in the 11-16 age range, with opportunities for A level and BTEC teaching also included in the programme as appropriate. By studying the course you will gain experience across a diverse range of secondary school settings and activity areas throughout the course. The quality of the provision at St Mary's is valued by our trainees and schools, resulting in high levels of ECT employment in our partnership schools. Employment rates following the PGCE course are frequently over 90% in teaching roles.

On the programme you will study two Master's' modules leading to 60 credits at postgraduate level. You will have the opportunity to further your postgraduate studies in your career as these credits are transferable.
