Sports Studies

Course summary

The PE department offers two Sixth Form options: A Level Physical Education and BTEC Sport Studies. Both of these courses will not necessary run each year, this will depend on the interest in each subject. Many people think that pursuing a career in sport means that you need to be athletic. However, the sports industry is so large and diverse, that almost anybody can have a career in it, regardless of their athletic ability. Whilst those who perform well in sport can compete at a professional level, there are plenty of other pathways available. Becoming a professional athlete, working in sports health and psychology, teaching or coaching, or even sports journalism are just a few of the career opportunities open to you.
