PE is one of the most popular and successful subjects in the Repton GCSE curriculum. In their first year of study, pupils engage in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. They will learn how their body responds to exercise and how best to prepare it to increase their own performances on the sports field. Later in the course, they begin to look more broadly at the sporting world – psychological aspects that impact performers, the barriers to participation faced by certain groups and societal issues associated with professional sport. Through their coursework task, pupils gain an appreciation of how to evaluate themselves as a performer, recognising strengths and planning detailed training programme to develop their weaknesses.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a minimum requirement of 5 GCSEs at Grade 6 unless there is a compelling reason to modify this requirement, and in any event, where this is necessary it will usually lead to the applicant being offered a BTEC or BTEC with one A Level as a Sixth Form course. Candidates must achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject to be studied at A level, and a Grade 7 in the case of Mathematics, any Science or a Modern Foreign Language.
