Course Outline
If you are a passionate and enthusiastic sports performer who enjoys learning and
understanding the theory behind sport and how it effects different aspects of performance
this is the option for you. Examples of topics covered within Sport and PE
courses include; Fitness for Sport and Exercise, Training for Personal Fitness, Practical
Sports Performance and Leading Sports Activities. Choosing PE and Sport as an option
provides a really nice balance to other subjects.
Why should I choose this subject?
Having a PE or Sport qualification makes you stand out from the crowd. It shows future
colleges, universities and employers you are capable of working in many different
ways and thrive on success and motivating yourself/those around you, in addition
to being disciplined, resilient and driven. Successful students have gone on to study
PE and Sport at post 16, with different options available at Falmouth College. Many
have progressed further to study an array of sports qualifications at university and
have become employed in the sports industry. PE and Sport courses engage learners
to take responsibility for their own learning and to develop skills that are essential for
the modern day workplace.
PE and Sport options are assessed theoretically through the combination of exams
and coursework. Courses will be chosen to suit the strengths and capabilities of the
students, allowing them to achieve the very best results in a subject they love.
