This is a course for students who are passionate and engaged in sport and physical activity. Those who are active in the participation and eager to develop themselves and others.

We teach the 4 units in the following order:

  1. Contemporary Issues in sport (60 mark exam)
  2. Sport Leadership (coursework assessed inc. practical)
  3. Media in sport (coursework assessed)
  4. Practical sport (performance in 2 sports + linked coursework)

Enrichment

This course is both academic and vocational. There are elements of this course that are assessed through practical performance and thus we expect our pupils to be taking part in extra-curricular clubs in school and outside in community sport.

Career pathways

A good result in the qualification will enable learners to progress on to sixth form and study A Level PE or BTEC Sport. It will help learners move on to university and study a sport related degree.

It also enables pupils to go on an work in the sports industry, particularly with the leadership unit linking nicely into coaching and working with young athletes.
