GCSE
At GCSE level we use the CCEA examination board. The course aims to give pupils knowledge and understanding of developing and maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle, developing competence in different types of physical activity in different roles and contexts, selecting and applying tactics and strategies and analysing and evaluating physical performance.
