The Cambridge Technicals are a great alternative for students wanting to study sport instead of following a traditional A-Level pathway, especially for students who are more suited to coursework and a modular approach, in contrast to the terminal exams of A-Levels. As well as developing their theoretical knowledge of sport, students will also develop practical skills in areas such as sports coaching, activity leadership, officiating and organising sports events. There are different sizes of course available and dependent on the size chosen, the qualifications can work alongside studying A-Levels in other subjects. Students have the opportunity to study for an Extended Certificate (one A-Level equivalent), Diploma (two A-Level equivalent) or Extended Diploma (three A-Level equivalent). The Cambridge Technical qualification in Sport and Physical Activity is a natural extension from the GCSE with many similarities in the theoretical components covered. It is not necessary for you to have previously studied GCSE Physical Education, but it is helpful.
The general requirement for a place in the Sixth Form is: • A minimum of six passes at GCSE (5-9) • In addition, each department has a particular entry requirement of either a 6 or 7 for subjects to be studied at A Level. Students studying subjects such as Psychology and Business Studies which have not been studied previously should show proficiency in similar subjects.
