The course is designed to equip learners with both an in depth and breadth of knowledge, understanding and skills relating to scientific, socio-cultural and practical aspects of physical education. The course aims to create confident independent thinkers and effective decision makers who can operate as individuals or as part of a team – all skills that will enable learners to effectively promote themselves as they progress through life. How will I learn? We offer a flipped learning approach to the curriculum which provides students with the opportunity to learn the basics of topics at home and consolidate learning in the classroom through the following ways; engaging practical activities and research, small group work, a range of learning games and use of the college's intranet: i-site. Progress in learning will be monitored using regular assessments that will be completed in class which will reflect the structure and rigour of the end of course external exams.
