Physical Education is a fascinating, diverse and modern subject. It covers scientific aspects such as anatomy and physiology as well as socio-cultural issues such the media and drugs in sport. Sport Science is one of the most popular university courses and students at CRGS often go on to study at the world-leading Loughborough University.
Students must have either 2 GCSEs in Combined Science at grade 5 or above (i.e. grade 5 or above in both) or at least grade 5 in GCSE Biology or at least grade 5 in GCSE Physics. Students must be regularly competing or coaching in one of the JQC approved activities outside of school and must be committed to continue with this throughout the two year course. If coaching, students will be expected to contribute to extra-curricular sports activities at the CRGS Main School. Students should also have a keen interest in the theory of Physical Education and be aware of global issues surrounding sport. There is an element of Non Examination Assessment, so students must be prepared to work diligently, independently and meet deadlines. Students are required to meet the General Entry Requirement of a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade 6 with at least GCSE grade 4 in English Language and Maths.
