The qualification framework that the students follow is carefully mapped to ensure that the learning is as practical as possible. Each element of the course requires the students to be physically active with assessments being undertaken during those practical sessions.
Each student will get a taste of sports coaching, officiating, volunteering and event planning as part of the course, as well as playing at least twice a day. The students will also undertake an individual activity programme which could include weight training, swimming, football or any sport's that are available.
Each student will be offered the opportunity to experience a placement in the world of Sports Coaching. Working alongside local primary schools the students will be offered the opportunity to help coach and organise a school sports day. It is the aim of our project to engage the young people in positive behavior through volunteering.
With the functional skills curriculum mapped in through out the syllabus, this alternative provision offers your students a real opportunity to experience vocational learning that is teamed with real work based experience.
