Primary School Physical Education Subject Leadership Level 6 Award

Who is this course for?

This course is for education professionals who have already completed the Level 5 award. 

What will I learn?

Teaching will build on topics covered in the Level 5 Certificate in Primary School Physical Education Specialism. During this 2 day course you will build on your understanding of what it means to lead sustainable development within primary school education.

How will I learn?

You will complete 18 guided learning hours with a tutor and 38 independent learning hours, including the completion of individual learning tasks. This degree level qualification has a minimum teaching hours requirement, so you will need to attend all study sessions in addition to completing tasks in between these sessions.

This course will be delivered online via Microsoft Teams. YSJ Learn, our virtual learning CPD platform, will be used for assessment submission and teaching. There will be an opportunity to book online tutorials if you require more support with the course material or assessment task.

Assessment

Course assessment will be a mixture of formal written assignments, group-based tasks and group discussion. During the course, you will also be required to arrange 2 meetings with a senior leader within your own school to discuss your subject leadership of physical education.
