Entry Requirements

To study vocational courses students must achieve two Grade 5s at and three Grade 4s at GCSE as a basic entry level. Where students have studied vocational courses in KS4 they must achieve a Level 2 Merit or above to count within the five qualifications required. Each qualification may have some specific requirements, so please read this booklet carefully before you make your choices. Students wishing to complete the BTEC Foundation Diploma should have achieved at least a Grade 5 at GCSE level Physical Education but with an average of 30 marks across the two exam papers or a minimum grade of a Level 2 Merit on the Unit 1 Cambridge National Sports Studies exam in Key Stage 4. A genuine interest in sport (preferably including participation in extra-curricular activities) is obviously expected! Applications will, however, be dealt with on an individual basis.
