Entry Requirements

Minimum I/GCSE Grade 7 on the 9-1 scale in GCSE PE. Candidates who wish to take this course should be under no illusions that it is an easy option. The course has a strong scientific element, but this is balanced by the presence of the social, historical, cultural and contemporary aspects of the syllabus. For acceptance onto the course, pupils should have studied GCSE PE and have achieved a grade 7. Ideally, GCSE results should include grade 6s in the Science subjects (either Dual Award or separately). Pupils should also have achieved a good set of GCSE results, whilst demonstrating a proactive work ethic and high levels of motivation.
