Course summary

The department has expanded in the last 3 years to include 3rd Form lessons and GCSE to compliment the A Level and BTEC already delivered. 1st and 2nd Form have one practical lesson a week. Our aim is for all students to follow a structured, progressive programme, introducing them to a variety of new sports, as well as gaining an understanding of components of fitness, training types and nutrition to aid their own performance.

Entry requirements

Our current requirement for entry into the Sixth Form is a minimum of six Grade 5s at GCSE (or the equivalent), preferably with Grade 7s in the subjects to be studied at A Level. Places are offered on the basis of an interview with the academic team and Head of Sixth Form, academic assessment, predicted GCSE results and a report from the pupil’s current school.

How you'll be assessed

GCSE pupils must offer 3 practical sports to be assessed as well as produce written coursework. This makes up 40% of the overall assessment. If candidates progress to A level they are then required to focus on just one sport for the assessment as well as an analysis of a contemporary playing their chosen sport. For BTEC candidates sit one exam at the end of the first year and then complete several coursework assignments throughout the course. 3rd Form sit end of unit tests twice a term and will sit an end of year exam in the summer. Juniors are assessed subjectively throughout the course.
