PGCE Secondary (Physical Education)

Lincoln Bishop University

Our Secondary PGCE programme is designed to prepare you to teach your specialist subject to students aged 11-16 or 14-19. The course is structured to provide a blend of academic study and practical experience, ensuring you develop both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for a successful teaching career. Led by experienced senior lecturers (who are qualified teachers with extensive teaching experience) and supported by a network of schools and colleges, our programme aims to help you meet the Teachers’ Standards and achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).Physical education does more than improving physical fitness, motor skills and well-being: it empowers individuals to understand their health, develops the skills of teamwork, cooperation, and goal setting, and reduces stress. A positive school experience in Physical Education can contribute to the development of healthy behaviours. Outstanding Physical Education teachers change lives for the better. Our highly experienced and supportive course tutors guide you on your journey from Physical Education performer to Physical Education teacher. In addition to your stimulating university sessions, you will spend two-thirds of the year in our fantastic partner schools, working with expert subject mentors to develop your knowledge of our ambitious curriculum, and apply your knowledge into fluid practice. This course is demanding and stimulating, enabling you to develop into a highly competent and reflective Physical Education teacher.
