OCR Sport Studies

Students will need a good attitude to learning, good ability in English, an interest in PE and sport, and a willingness to work hard in the classroom and in practical lessons. This also includes bringing PE kit for all practical lessons.

You will study a range of sports. You will be assessed in Table Tennis, Athletics, Basketball, Football, Badminton, Climbing, Volleyball, Dance, Cricket, Netball and Trampolining.

The course involves five one-hour lessons per fortnight, plus home learning.

If there is another sport that you take part in outside school to a high level, it may be possible to use video evidence to assess you in this area.

Students will study 3 units:

Contemporary Issues in Sport (one hour exam)
Performance and Leadership in Sports Activities
Developing Awareness of outdoor activities

Students need to have an interest in sport and have a high level of commitment and motivation. A third of the course is assessed on practical ability, you need to be able to perform at a good level in a range of sporting areas and be prepared to work hard during practical lessons.

Do not expect this course to be completely practical. A large amount of time will be spent learning the course content in preparation for the exam.
