‘Learning through movement’ and ‘movement as education’ form the core of Physical Education, where student development and achievement are closely tied to teaching methods. Here lies your opportunity to create real impact. Brunel’s PGCE in Secondary Education (Physical Education) equips you to teach students aged 11-16 while fostering their physical education skills. As a PE teacher, you play a distinctive role in educating young people through physical activity. This includes inspiring and encouraging them to engage in sports and exercise both during school and throughout their lives. Whether it’s guiding students to showcase tactics and techniques, building their confidence to analyze performance and suggest improvements, teaching the benefits of healthy living, or helping them explore new activities, your instruction will leave a lasting mark.
Career prospects
A Brunel PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) represents excellence in teacher training, evidenced by Brunel’s consistently high graduate employment rates and positive feedback from alumni, partner schools, and Ofsted inspectors.
Brunel PGCE graduates frequently secure positions in our partner schools, including those where they completed placements. This maintains departmental connections with former students, many of whom return as mentors for current trainees. The department also boasts an extensive network of alumni holding leadership roles in schools nationwide.
