Key Stage 4 - BTEC Sport


PE and Sport have a strong reputation at Broadlands Academy.


We offer the BTEC Sport qualification at KS4 and believe it gives a strong foundation for anyone wishing to go on to study sports and training at college and beyond.


The course has four units:

  • Personal training for fitness

  • Leadership and coaching

  • Practical sport

  • Components of Fitness and Principles of Training


Although you do not get assessed on your practical ability, approximately 50% of the lessons are practical, learning through being physically active rather than in the classroom.
