Course summary

You’ll develop skills and techniques to build your coaching knowledge, in addition to the ability to analyse and assess risk involved when planning and staging physical activities. Most of your learning will take place across our indoor and outdoor sports facilities, but you may also go off-site for particular activities, visiting elite training grounds when appropriate. BTEC Sport is a vocational qualification. This means that it has been designed to be more directly career-related than PE A-level. Assessment is through a combination of exams and assignments and relate to a particular scenario from the sporting profession. This continual assessment can be an attractive proposition, but only if students are very good at meeting deadlines and prepare to produce their best work throughout the whole two years of the course. UCAS points are awarded on successful completion of the course, so if a sports-related degree at university is your next step, this course could be for you.

Entry requirements

Pupils entering the sixth form are expected to have obtained ‘C’ grades in most core subjects and at least a grade B in their chosen A Level subjects. They will be expected to be able to cope with the demands of A Level courses in at least three subjects. Some A Level courses require higher GCSE grades, specific details on request from the Marketing and Admissions Team.
