Full course GCSE Sports Studies. Edexcel exam board - September 2018

This is taught over three years and is worth one GCSE. 

What will I do on the course?

You will take part in a range of different sports and will be assessed in each. Your THREE best marks from your practical activities will be used as part of your final grade.

You will have at least one theory lesson per week, where you will learn about different aspects of sport and health and fitness. The topics that you will cover include: Anatomy and Physiology, Movement Analysis, Physical Training, Sports Psychology, Socio-Cultural influences and Health, fitness and well-being.

You will have the opportunity to devise a Personal Exercise Programme and take part in analysing performance.

How will I be assessed?

After each theory unit, an end of unit test is taken and this will give you an indication of how well you are doing and what you need to do to improve.

You will also create a PEP and analyse performance. This will make up 10% of your final grade.
