“I loved my sports course at Bishop Auckland College especially the health & lifestyle, exercise and anatomy & physiology modules. The tutors were amazing with brilliant teaching. I had the opportunity of a work placement in a primary school which provided me with an excellent insight into this career path as my end goal is to become a primary school teacher specialising in PE.”
