Study Details:
Play a key role in training to teach young people and keeping them active. Not only will you be able to showcase your enthusiasm for physical education in schools and share the benefits of movement on the body and mind, but you’ll also develop the knowledge and skills to train to teach in an additional subject with one of our EBacc subject pathways.
Studying on one of our PGCE Secondary Physical Education with EBacc pathways, will prepare you for the rigours of teaching physical education and your additional subject in secondary settings. You’ll already have an undergraduate degree in an area related to physical education, so we’ll focus on helping you develop the skills you need to engage young people with the subject. You will discover the most effective ways of delivering your lessons and captivating your students. At the same time, develop your understanding of subject specific approaches, classroom management, adaptive teaching and the different ways pupils learn.
If you hold a relevant qualification in computing, English, geography, history or mathematics, we offer five Secondary Physical Education pathways, so you can train to teach in an additional subject and boost your employability.
You will choose one of the following pathways:
Successful completion of your chosen route above leads to a recommendation for the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
The English Baccalaureate (EBacc) is a school performance measure in England associated with GCSE results. It evaluates pupil achievement by averaging scores from designated subject grades. Such an approach is designed to give pupils a broad and balanced curriculum and since the introduction of this performance measure, there has been an increase in the number of pupils studying EBacc subjects at GCSE level and this has increased demand for more teachers in those areas. Our PGCE Secondary PE (with EBacc) pathways aim to develop you as a practitioner in one of the EBacc subjects we offer, alongside your training and development as a teacher of PE to enhance your employability.
If you’d like to study this PGCE without an additional EBacc subject, please see our PGCE Secondary Physical Education with QTS (11-16) course page.
To join this PGCE, you will be expected to have:
In addition to the above, you will also be expected to meet the following entry requirement:

If you accept a formal offer from Edge Hill University you will be required to meet the Department for Education’s standards for physical and mental fitness to teach and clearance to work with children.
