Physical Education (Primary Years)

About this course

Physical education for the primary years is a specialist area of educational practice that focuses on how children aged five to eleven experience, learn about and benefit from physical activity and sport. Movement is fundamental to childhood development: it supports cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth, and how PE is taught in the primary years shapes children's relationship with physical activity for life. Teaching PE well at this stage requires deep understanding of child development, sound knowledge of movement and health science, and the pedagogical skills to design and deliver engaging, inclusive and progressive physical activity experiences. At the University of Chichester, this three-year full-time degree develops your knowledge of physical education, child development and primary teaching alongside extensive practical experience in schools.
