It is important to note that this is a theory course and all lessons will be given to the delivery of the theory content. Having said this you will experience a wide variety of teaching styles and activities during lessons, for example undertaking an investigation into the effect of exercise on heart rate; working in groups to prepare a debate on hosting global sporting events or completing practical skills to look at the use of guidance to learn motor skills. Please note that the majority of lessons will be classroom based, with practical work where it fits with the course content.
• You should have at least a grade 5 in GCSE double award science (or in two of the following; biology, chemistry or physics); and a grade 4 in GCSE PE (if studied). • You should have at least a grade 5 in GCSE maths. • You should have at least a grade 4 in GCSE English language. • You should also be regularly participating and performing in your chosen practical activity.
This is a two year course. You will NOT be entered for an external AS exam at the end of the first year. In the second year of the course, you will take three external exams that assess content covered in the first and second year. These exams range from 1-2 hour and will be a mixture of short answer and essay questions. These exams: physiological (30%), psychological (20%) and social-cultural (20%) make up 70% of your final grade. The practical element of the course will be 30% of your final grade. 15% from performing and 15% analysing performance. Please note that the practical element is a very small contributor to your overall grade.
