Why our students like this course

'I really enjoy studying Physical Education at Notre Dame Sixth Form. Throughout the course, I have developed myself as a performer, coach official with the guidance of excellent teaching. I love that it involves both theoretical and practical learning, which supports my other subjects of Psychology and Health and Social Care. Physical Education is always a lesson I look forward to and is helping me to pursue a career in physiotherapy.'

A GCSE in this subject is desirable but not essential. Involvement in a competitive sport would be an advantage.
