This BTEC course is offered as an optional subject at key stage 4.
We offer core PE to all students at key stage 3 – see details here.
Why study physical education?
This is a vocational course that is predominantly theory based with some aspects being taught through practical activity. It is suited to those who want to develop their knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology, develop their ability to plan and deliver sports activity sessions as well as having an interest in sports leadership.
This course is taken in addition to the two lessons of core PE that students receive each week in year 10 and 11.
