This course is for pupils passionate about sport, exercise, health and fitness. The units studied are a mixture of theory and fitness practicals, and pupils need to show a willingness to work on the practical and understanding of health and fitness aspects of the units outside of the classroom environment. Pupils must be able to communicate with others and be willing to learn many skills which cannot be examined in a formal sense. A real thirst to learn about the effects of lifestyle on health and fitness is paramount to this course. Pupils should appreciate the need to understand their body, the way it works and responds to exercise. A good pass in science is a great advantage in this area of study. An inquisitive mind to research modern trends in the health and fitness industry is also to be encouraged.
King's welcomes applications for admission to the 6th Form. We have a significant post-GCSE entry into our 6th Form and places are offered based on an interview and references from the candidate's current school. Candidates are expected to gain at least a 4/5 or 6 in each subject they hope to study at A Level and overall a minimum of 5 GCSEs with at least 4 GCSEs at Grade 4. Candidates applying to study BTECS will be offered places after interviews with the Deputy Head Academic and the Headmaster.
Assignments will include: practical led teaching, interviews, questionnaires, presentations, written reports, posters and booklets. Assignments will be awarded a Pass, Merit or Distinction status according to the individual units.
