    COURSE INFORMATION
    The course will be delivered by a consortium of local secondary schools with Northumbria University acting as managing agent.

    This specialist Physical Education course is designed for those wishing to achieve Qualified Teacher Status at secondary level.

    Teaching is a diverse, creative and dynamic activity, and this is reflected in the design of the course. A strong foundation of experiential learning in the school environment is complemented by a comprehensive support system of mentoring and guidance.
