Are you looking for a career in one of the world’s fastest developing industries? If you have a passion for sport and would like to apply your studies in a practical environment, then the BTEC Extended Certificate in Sport course is for you. This is one of Neston High Schools most popular courses at Key Stage 5. Since the introduction of this popular BTEC course, results have been significantly higher than the national average with 80% of last year’s cohort achieving higher than their target grade. It is broadly equivalent to a one GCE A Level qualification. The majority of the course will be focused on the external assessments and will be delivered in a theoretical environment. The applied coursework for the two internally assessed units will take place in the form of practical assessments, booklets, observations, presentations and worksheets. The course will be taught by enthusiastic teachers from our outstanding PE department who will develop your research, theoretical and practical skills in a creative, energetic and positive approach designed to help you succeed in this competitive industry.
- At least 5 passes at GCSE grade 4-9 to join the sixth form, however most A Level subjects require students to have grade 5 in Maths and English.
