This course leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) for the 11-to-16 age range, which qualifies you to be a teacher in secondary schools in England and Wales.

At the University of East London we believe every child is entitled to a high-quality PE curriculum which places their physical, social, cognitive and emotional needs at the core of its purpose.

As a PE student teacher, you will develop into someone who can be responsible for honing pupils’ abilities in a range of physical pursuits – helping them to develop their personal fitness and a healthy, active lifestyle as well as important life skills.

Our state-of-the-art SportsDock facility offers ideal on-site learning facilities in which to develop your teaching skills.

There are three elements to secondary training with us: subject studies, general professional studies and school-based training. It differs from courses offered by other universities in that it is very much subject-based.

Our ethos is based on collaboration, not competition. We encourage you to work collaboratively just as you will when you qualify and start working in a school.

About this course

We will support you to develop as a great PE teacher who can bring the subject to life by devising and delivering a diverse range of engaging lessons that educate and excite all pupils.

You will gain a range of skills, from teaching pupils about teamwork and getting involved in your placement schools' sports teams to learning how to manage classes during outdoor and indoor physical activities.

Once qualified, you will continue your professional development as you teach pupils how to plan, adapt and implement different tactics in a diverse range of team and individual games.

You will also learn about children and child development in the core Active Inquiry and Technology-Enhanced Learning modules.

The Secondary PGCE course at the University of East London was designed in 2001 in conjunction with the local authorities to address the secondary education teacher shortage in east London.

The partnership works with input and support from the London Boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Waltham Forest and Redbridge.

It means that our graduates are represented in virtually every secondary school in east London. Some are now deputy heads or in senior management roles in schools that are taking our current trainees for their placements.

Across all subjects, from maths to modern languages, our teacher training graduates are acting as mentors to those following in their footsteps.

The partnership means that you have a head start when it comes to securing a teaching post in east London at the end of your training.

Both local authorities and individual schools visit our campus regularly to meet our trainees and advertise available vacancies.

You may also decide to undertake further study at the University of East London, either at the end of your course or after gaining teaching experience, perhaps specialising in Special Educational Needs or taking our MA Leadership in Education.

Minimum 2.2 Honours degree or above in the subject area applicant plans to teach.
All applicants MUST have GCSE English and Maths grade A*/9 to C/4.
