Sport Studies
Year 10
In Year 10 Sport Studies, students begin by learning the core exam content, focusing first on contemporary issues in sport. They explore topics such as participation, ethics, equality, and the impact of sport on society, developing a strong understanding of how sport operates in the modern world. Alongside this, students review their own sporting performances to identify strengths and weaknesses, then create and follow a personalised improvement plan to enhance their skills and fitness. During the summer term, students also plan, deliver and evaluate a sports leadership session, allowing them to develop communication, organisation and leadership skills while applying their knowledge in a practical setting.
Year 11
In Year 11 Sport Studies, students begin by learning about a range of Outdoor Adventurous Activities available in the local area and across the UK. They explore how these activities are organised, the skills required to take part, and the benefits they offer for physical and mental wellbeing. Students then plan, take part in, and review a full day’s trek, developing their teamwork, resilience and problem-solving skills in a real-life outdoor setting. Alongside this, students continue to follow and refine the personalised improvement plan created in the summer term, using reflection and performance analysis to further improve their sporting ability and overall fitness.
