Course content - What will you be studying?
In Year 9 PE/Sport students will deepen their understanding of physical activity and sports, the principles to excel in sporting performance and gain leadership and management skills through coaching opportunities.
Choosing PE and Sport will complement the core PE offer and allow students to be enriched by extra sporting opportunities, such as access to a local gym. Students will cover topics such as anatomy and physiology (learning all about how the body works when we exercise) as well as sports analysis (looking at how to improve sporting ability).
Students will also be able to complete a qualification in Sports Leadership, which is a fantastic opportunity to add their CV. Additionally, students will be able to develop their knowledge and understanding of health and well-being. If you love PE, Sport or Physical Activity, choose this!

Students will be assessed through coursework in the form of a digital portfolio, as well as practical performances for the sports leadership course.
