Course summary

PE has many benefits beyond physical health, from teamwork to self-confidence and leadership skills to communication. Our young people deserve PE teachers who can inspire and motivate them to improve their activity levels and social skills, discover their sporting strengths and equip them with the tools to lead a healthy lifestyle, and that’s what we aim to achieve in our graduates.The PGCE Secondary – Physical Education is an active and practical course devised by University tutors and PE specialists in local schools to prepare you to teach the subject across the full secondary age in ways that include learners of all abilities. There will be a particular focus on national curriculum PE activity areas (games, gymnastic activities, dance, athletic activities, swimming, and outdoor and adventurous activities).Successful completion of the PGCE leads to a Postgraduate Certificate in Education awarded by Durham University and the recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status. The QTS element is accredited by Newcastle University and awarded by the Department of Education.We pride ourselves on offering a well-planned blend of research and experience in the classroom to start you on your successful career as an Early Career Teacher. We emphasise your entitlement to the Core Content Framework throughout our PGCE course to fully prepare you for the Early Career Framework, which will support you during your first two years of teaching as an Early Career Teacher.The University-based sessions focus on a weekly specific pedagogical theme, integrated with sessions devoted to your subject specialism, delivered by subject specialists in the University and the school partnership.
