Sport is one of the driving forces in modern society, whether it be the social and economic successes of hosting sporting events such as the Olympics or the scandals of drug in sport, such as Lance Armstrong, sport has a huge impact on every aspect of modern life. The Sports team provides all pupils with the knowledge, skills and understanding of Sport and Fitness so that they can make informed choices of activities that they will participate in during, and following, their time within the Academy. We believe that physical activity plays a crucial role in the development of young people, and the positive impacts that a healthy lifestyle can have on an individual are not to be underestimated. With a curriculum that both challenges and stimulates, all pupils that choose to undertake Sport at Level 3 will enjoy both the academic and practical elements, developing them as well-rounded individuals. We want every child in the local community to be enthused by sport and want to see them all live happier, healthier and longer lives full of success.
Level 2 Merit for Health and Fitness. Grade 4-4 in Science or an individual Science discipline if Health and Fitness not studied at Level 2.
Year 12: Pupils will undertake two units focussing on the anatomy and physiology of the body, developing their understanding of how the body works and responds to exercise. They will also study methods of fitness testing and health and safety in sport. Year 13: Pupils will participate with a practical sports unit that focuses on either team or individual sports. The unit choice is determined by the size, abilities and interests of the cohort in order to ensure that the learning is tailored towards the individual pupils. They will study psychological aspects of sports performance including aggression, arousal and anxiety, personality and motivation. They will also undertake a personal exercise programme, using facilities at the Hundred of Hoo Leisure Centre in order to develop their knowledge and understanding of their personal fitness and how to develop this further. Following successful completion of the course pupils will receive the equivalent of one A Level at grade E or above.
