Qualification PE
From the middle of year 9 students will get the opportunity to try out and subsequently opt to study towards a GCSE-level Qualification in their core PE time. They will still receive the same amount of practical and theory lessons per fortnight (4:1 hrs per fortnight) but will begin to produce coursework for and learn about the ‘body’s response to exercise’ & the ‘application of the principles of training’. In year 11 they will then study for an external written examination on ‘reducing the risk of injury and responding to common medical conditions’. Students undertaking this pathway will achieve a grade in Cambridge National Sports Science which is a vocational GCSE-equivalent award. This route is particularly advantageous for those who aspire to a career in the sports industry or human sciences, those who seek purpose in their learning and those who feel sport and PE may be a better opportunity for academic success than other subjects.

Leadership Diploma
Those who choose PE as an additional option will take on SBE PE team's unique Leadership Diploma. This involves learning how to develop specific transferable skills, such as communication, motivation, confidence and self-reflection, all through sport and physical activity. Over 200 students qualified as a Level 1 or 2 Sports Leader last year, experiencing independent delivery of multi-skills festivals, primary tournaments and even leading 6 weeks of PE in Primary Schools. Students will also gain sport specific qualifications and have the benefit of athlete mentor visits. Sports Leadership Diploma is incredibly successful and an over-subscribed subject. As such we believe that an ability to demonstrate a physically active lifestyle and any experience of committing to volunteering to be a good starting point when deciding whether to apply.
