- This is a course that offers a detailed insight into the sports and activity sector as well as the anatomy and physiology of the body and the benefits of a healthy diet and training plan. You will also be required to demonstrate skills such as interview techniques, fitness testing of a participant and analysis of your performance. This will result in students having the abilities to be successful in both sport specific and wider professional roles and vocations.
- We would expect all learners who are wanting to study this course to have achieved a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English as the vast majority of the course is assessed through extended pieces of writing in the form of coursework and examination units. - You must have achieved 5 passes including mathematics and English, where a pass is defined as GCSE 9-4 and pass or better at level 2 BTEC.
The course is split into four units. Two units are coursework based. Each coursework unit is then split up into three Learning Aim/Assignments. You will be taught the key information about this Learning Aim in class before being allocated lesson and independent study time to complete the assignment by a certain deadline. Work can be awarded a grade of: Ungraded, Pass, Merit and Distinction. Google Classroom is extensively used for the process of handing in work and can aid with your own organisation. The two exam units differ slightly from each other. Unit 1 is a traditional exam which involves you being taught the information prior to sitting the exam which has questions ranging between the topics of the unit. For Unit 2 you will have two ‘assessment sessions’ at the end of the unit. The first session you will be required to independently create a document that can be taken into the second session to aid you. This second session is a traditional exam. Students will be assessed every 6 weeks in line with our Praising Stars system in the Academy and this data will be shared with home. This will give us a clear indication of what level the student is working at and where and when specific intervention is needed.
