BTEC Sport

This is a newly updated BTEC Tech qualification meaning students will explore and develop their knowledge and skills in the following areas:

• Investigation provisions for sport including equipment and facilities to enhance sport as well as understanding how to plan and deliver an effective warm up.

• Planning and delivery of sport drills and sessions including being assessed on their own performance in sport. It is crucial that your child is part of a club either inside or outside of school to score highly in their practical assessment.

• Fitness for sport including fitness testing and methodology

This Tech Award complements the learning in GCSE programmes such as GCSE Physical Education and is equivalent to a GCSE qualification. One unique aspect which is offered in this course is the development of their leadership and teaching skills in sport. This course is made up of a mixture of internal assessments such as coursework and supervised written tasks and an examination component.
