Sport Science

Pupils begin studying Sport Science in Form 8 in order to introduce them to the subject prior to choosing their GCSE options.

Sport Science helps pupils appreciate how science and theoretical studies underpin sport at all levels. Pupils learn about physiology, injury prevention, technology and improving personal fitness through appropriate training and diet. This course provides a good foundation for further study of sport and physical education and helps to build core knowledge for areas including physiotherapy, teaching/coaching, nutrition and biomechanics.
