The new specification (from September 2016) now focuses on Sports Science topics which make up 70% of the course. These units are full of variation and allow students to explore Physiological, Psychological and Social factors in sport. Students are expected to perform OR coach an activity to a high standard for the practical assessment which makes up the final 30%. Whilst some of our students go on to study Sport related courses at university, many have also chosen to take a different route. In the past we have had students study History, Biology, Medicine, Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Some of our past students have also played sport at a high level. Jodie Williams represented Great Britain in the 200m at the Rio Olympic Games and Andy Symons currently plays professional rugby for Gloucester RFC.
