Sir John Lawes School
Sport and Physical Activity CTEC

INTRODUCTION
This qualification, a vocational course that explores careers in sports, is not just about being able to play
sport; it will provide learners with the skills, knowledge and understanding to progress into Higher
Education on a sport-related programme such as Sport and Physical Education, Sport Science, Sport
Coaching and Development or Sport and Leisure Management. This course is designed to support
students who would benefit from a qualification where it is more coursework based and their sports
performance is not going to impact their final grade. It might also be a course suitable for students who
have not completed GCSE PE previously.
