Introduction – why choose this subject?

We aim to inspire a career in sport by delivering an exciting and varied curriculum that appeals to a wide range of learners. The assessment for the course is almost fully theoretical apart from unit 2 where students plan and deliver a six-week Physical Education Scheme of Work to a lower school PE group and are assessed on their delivery.

Students will establish transferable skills that will benefit them in a variety of future careers. They learn skills such as responding to different injuries with basic first aid techniques and they are taught leadership styles that enable them to deliver practical sessions to large groups of students. Students will develop academic skills such as independent learning, time management, ability to think critically and extended writing skills. This qualification will help with applications to apprenticeships and university courses such as Physical Education, Sport Science, Physiotherapy and many more.
