Key Stage 4 At Key Stage 4 during core PE students are offered a personalised curriculum based on Leadership, Short Course GCSE PE and full course GCSE PE. The leadership group gain an accreditation from Sport Leaders UK and deliver a number of festival and activities to our feeder primary school. The short course GCSE group gain half a GCSE in PE and have to complete units of work in both the theory and practical elements of the course. The GCSE PE group have the chance to further enhance their practical scores by doing a number of additional sports like Orienteering, Personal Survival and have the use of the Fitness Suite at The Heath Business Park.
