Sport Science

We are lucky enough at St. Edmund’s to be able to offer two academic subjects at GCSE level for sport. AQA GCSE PE and OCR Cambridge National in Sport Science. These subjects allow students to explore sport and exercise in depth and to learn a wide breadth of knowledge in these areas. 

The Cambridge National in Sport Science helps students appreciate how science and theoretical studies underpin sport at all levels. They will learn about physiology, injury prevention, technology and improving personal fitness through appropriate training and diet. This course will provide a good foundation for further study of sport and physical education at A-level and beyond. It will help to build core knowledge for areas including physiotherapy, teaching/coaching, nutrition and biomechanics. There are many practical elements to the course alongside classroom-based independent and group assignments.
