CPD for Primary School Teachers in Primary Physical Education

The CPD programme for primary physical education has been designed to meet the pertinent knowledge that a teacher will need at different stages of their career. 

In England, primary physical education (PE) currently enjoys a heightened profile at government level with increased funding and accountability in schools.

Teachers are now expected to deliver lessons that are considered by Ofsted (2013) to be ‘good’ or better by accessing professional learning opportunities, resourcing subject materials and drawing upon expertise to support subject leadership and management.

Our belief at BCU is to empower teachers and support them in becoming competent and confident physical educators. We have developed a programme that will support teachers across our partnership schools.

Why Choose Us?

The CPD programme will be underpinned by the following principles:

• All sessions will have differentiation and inclusion theory as the backbone of their content. • Sessions will include a broad and balanced approach including, content knowledge, pedagogy,research and context specific practices
• The CPD offer can include up to 2 or 3 sessions within one 150 minute block, depending on sessions wishing to undertake
• The sessions are a mixture of practical and theory, so a classroom and hall is required

Flexible Delivery

Here at Birmingham City University we recognise that to undertake a programme like this we need to sit around work, family and social commitments. That is why we can offer these sessions in a variety of ways. For example you and your colleagues could come to us at BCU where we can run the programme in our brand new state of the art facilities. We can come to you in your school or academy at a time convenient to you. Or a group of local schools could come together to host. The how we do this list is endless and one we would tailor to suit you.

Our Facilities

We are constantly investing in our estate and are currently in the process of spending £340 million on new learning facilities.

As part of these plans, the University's Education provision will join the rest of the Faculty of Health, Education and Life Sciences at our City South Campus in Edgbaston during 2018.

This is the third phase of the University's project to move all teaching and learning to two campuses, City Centre and City South. By moving our Education provision, we are creating a hub for the provision of public service contracts and professional development at City South Campus and improving the student experience with a stronger sense of community and more consistent support services and facilities.

Campus

In addition to classrooms, a lecture theatre, social learning spaces, an open access IT suite and cafe facilities, the new £41 million extension to our City South Campus offers a range of specialist teaching and learning facilities for specific subjects including science, design and technology, drama and physical education.  

Departments

All our departmental facilities replicate the school learning environment.

• Art and Design
• Design and Technology
• History
• English
