Physical Education at GCSE Level

Students in our current Year 9 to 11 are studying the NQF BTEC Level 2 Tech Award in Sport (Pearson), starting from September 2022. Additionally, some students will have the opportunity to pursue the GCSE equivalent. Both courses cover a range of essential topics that are vital for developing a deeper understanding of sport and health.

The BTEC Level 2 Tech Award consists of two components that include controlled written tasks, completed under exam conditions, along with one formal exam in Year 11. In contrast, the GCSE Physical Education course requires students to submit a written report that assesses their own practical sports performance and to complete two separate exams during Year 11.

Both pathways provide valuable insights and skills that cater to diverse learner needs, helping students to excel in their understanding of sports and health.
