How you'll be assessed

The majority of lessons taught are theoretical due to the demands of the course. There will be a variety of sports being assessed within one class so practical lessons will be based on conditioning, fitness and skill refinement for individuals. At the end of year 1 you will be assessed practically as a performer or coach - in one chosen sport (from the approved DfE list) You will also complete an oral exam on the Analysis and Evaluation of the Performance and complete two written papers (1 hour and 15 minutes each) for the theory aspect. In year 2 the assessment will consist of a two hour written paper and two one hour written papers for the theory aspect (70% of final grade). You will also complete an end of year assessment in one sport along with an oral exam as in year one. (30% of final grade)
