Rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in our 2024 inspection for secondary initial teacher education.

Our (Secondary) Physical Education PGCE leads to the award of Qualified Teacher Status for the 11–16 age range and offers enrichment opportunities to teach age 16–18.

We will equip you with the skills and knowledge to become a confident and competent physical education teacher. Our course focuses on an alternative approach to teaching physical education, emphasising physical activities and non-traditional team games, alongside the usual competitive team games.

Our teaching graduates' benefit from excellent employment rates that are consistently above the sector average. Plus, we’ll continue to support you through your first few years as an early career teacher.

At Brighton you’ll train to teach with an Ofsted ‘outstanding’ provider and be educated by an expert team.

You’ll gain practical experiences in two carefully selected schools – we have over 600 placement partners offering a variety of opportunities in large, small, urban and rural settings.

At university you’ll learn in our extensive sport and other facilities.
