Assessment

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.
