Overview:
The 2 year accelerated Secondary Physical Education degree programme is designed to integrate subject knowledge (including sports science), professional attributes and teaching and coaching skills. The programme is challenging and intensive whilst being immensely enjoyable and we build a strong culture of support within the group and work on the ethos of collaborative learning.
The programme is progressive in nature, developing awareness of professional attributes, knowledge and skills linking theory to practice; it enables students to apply educational theory to practice and develops reflective practice. The programme creatively contextualises key areas of subject knowledge within formal education curriculum. A variety of activities, both traditional and alternative in nature are utilised to support this development. In the final phase of the degree students look at the state of current and future directions of the teaching profession, they spend time in partnership schools undergoing extended placement. Whilst on school placement and during an honours project student will be involved in the design of a personalised programme to ensure their educational needs are met.
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
Students successfully completing this degree will be well placed to apply to undertake a 1 year PGCE programme to achieve qualified teacher status (QTS), which is required to become a classroom teacher. Therefore, this programme offers an alternative 3 year route (2+1) to becoming a qualified classroom PE teacher to that of the BEd programme. Although you will be well placed to apply for a PGCE programme, this degree can not guarantee entry onto a PGCE programme.
