“We aim to provide a range of inclusive physical activities that promote the lifelong benefits to a healthy and active lifestyle”
Students in PE complete a range of physical activities taking part in a broad range of sports and health based activities. Year 7 students “learn” basic concepts and ideas in a range of different sports. Year 8 students “Develop” their knowledge on these basic skills through progressive activities and games whilst Year 9 students “apply” taught knowledge in a range of modified game-based scenarios. Within Year 10 students who select NCFE Health and Fitness “embed” taught theoretical knowledge through KS3 into their option based subject. Year 11 foci is “Preparation,” whether that be the social and mental benefits of a healthy active lifestyle or examination preparation in their option based studies.

“Provide students the opportunity to further embed and apply their knowledge of how different body systems work to aid sporting performance and apply these into practical scenarios”
In Year 10 students begin their Level 1/ 2 NCFE Health and Fitness Qualification. Year 10 introduces students to six key topics (Structure and Function of Body Systems, Effects of Health and Fitness on the Body, Components of Fitness, Principles of Training, Testing of Fitness Components and the Impact of fitness on lifestyle). These topics will enable students to complete the examined Unit 1. A 90 minute exam comprising multiple choice, short and long answer questions. This content will also support students in the completion of their second unit, a synoptic project that will be completed in Year 11 to form 60% of their overall grade.
Pupils studying NCFE Health and Fitness will be well placed to pursue a career pathway in sporting sectors such as working in the gym industry as an instructor or personal trainer. It is imperative in this sector that you have the understanding of different body systems and how they work, making connections as to how different body systems can be trained and developed to maximise the potential from paying clients. Students could also make a career from sports massage or physio where a deep understanding is needed of the body’s muscles, extended qualifications will help students learn how muscles can be helped to heal to allow strengthening of the body and a return to physical exercise.

Unit 1 content taught and delivered in Year 10 and across Year 11 whilst coursework is being completed.
“Students can analyse and evaluate client data and performance to assess improvements to different body systems and sporting industries.”
The Extended National Diploma in Sport offers students the opportunity to continue their studies of the body and how it works with a further focus on how the body can be trained and adapted to meet the needs of individual clients. This course also provides students the opportunity to understand the different roles in the sport industry that are available as future careers for our students. Students further develop their leadership roles in sport by planning and leading a sporting event developing their interpersonal skills and giving them the opportunity to coach and teach students of all age ranges. Completing this course will allow students the opportunity to gain apprenticeships in the sporting sector such as Personal Training and Gym Instructing or allow students to further deepen their knowledge and understanding of different sporting disciplines through the completion of undergraduate degrees at university.
After completing the KS5 offer students can move onto Higher Education Postgraduate courses, where they can further deepen their knowledge of different sporting sectors. Alternatively, students can use the completion of this course to gain employment in the sport industry or gain access to higher level apprenticeships allowing them to work and earn at the same time. Careers can include teaching, coaching, physiotherapy, personal training, sports nutrition, sport psychology, sport development.
