Overview

If you’re looking for a career where you can inspire, motivate, and make a difference to the lives of young people, teaching is for you. At UEA, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we’ll support you in exploring a range of pedagogical strategies so you can meet the needs of your pupils and develop your own teaching style. We’ll help you gain insight into how pupils learn and what motivates them. You’ll understand how pupils engage with Physical Education and discover how to support their learning effectively. You’ll also develop strategies to make PE lessons challenging, stimulating, and rewarding. Our PGCE Secondary Physical Education programme combines at least 120 days of school-based training with university sessions, gradually increasing your solo teaching hours to build your confidence and help you become a reflective practitioner. You’ll learn how to make PE lessons inclusive, engaging, and physically and mentally challenging, while exploring the latest research to understand how pupils learn best. This one-year full-time programme equips you with the skills, experience, and knowledge needed to teach Physical Education to pupils aged 11 to 16, with Sixth Form enhancement—offering the opportunity to develop your post-16 teaching skills if this aligns with your interests.
