The department prides itself on building the confidence of its students by creating a supportive and engaging environment to develop and enhance their knowledge. A wide variety of transferable skills are gained from this course and we tailor the learning experience to individual needs. We also have talented sports teams with a number of District, County, Regional and National performers within them. You will find this course suits most professions as communication, team work and leadership are integral qualities. However, it is more specific to careers in: leisure industry e.g. fitness and leisure management, fitness instruction and training, personal trainer, physical training instructor, teacher/lecturer, physiotherapy, sports coaching and instruction, sports development and as a professional sports man or woman. At The Friary School, we believe it is vital that pupils experience a range of opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. Therefore, as an additional qualification we offer the Level 2 Community Sports Leaders Award which is a fantastic way of enhancing leadership, coaching and organisational qualities, which can assist you with achieving your aspirations. We also offer ski trips to Europe and America which are extremely popular.
