BTEC Sport is a\u00a0theoretical and\u00a0practical, coursework-based qualification designed for students who enjoy physical activity and want to understand how the body works, how to improve performance, and how sport is organised and managed. Unlike GCSE PE, BTEC Sport focuses less on exams and more on real-life learning, practical participation, and\u00a0written\u00a0assignments. Students study two units in year 10 to complete an Award followed by three in year 11 to ‘top-up’ to a certificate.<\/div>\n

In theory lessons, students will learn how the body works, how to get and stay fit, rules and regulations of specific sports, and how to coach. In practical lessons, students will participate in a variety of sports that demonstrate a strong skill set and help them to develop their techniques. Activities will range from football to fitness-based activities such as HIIT and Hyrox to bouldering to climbing and biking.<\/div>\n
