Course Specific Trips & Visits & Experiences

The College offers a number of educational experiences each year to enable students to contextualise their learning. These experiences include visiting speakers, an assault course, a stadium tour, a team-building paintball experience and  a visit to university sports science labs.

Any full time student at Coulsdon Sixth Form College can apply to join the College Football Academy. The Academy allows students to fulfil their sporting aspirations, with the hope of developing a career in football, either through playing, coaching or officiating.

The Academy offers you:

• Elite coaching, with highly trained coaches
• Guidance and knowledge on developing individual fitness programmes
• Access to the College Fitness Suite
• Advice on nutrition and healthy living
• The chance to play in National competitions
• Coaching and officiating qualifications

In addition to the Football Academy there are many other opportunities for students to develop their sporting prowess.  A variety of external coaches are employed to lead sport-specific training sessions and a new strength and conditioning programme designed to develop physical literacy ‘ABC’ was launched in September 2014.  The College has excellent links with a variety of local sports clubs.

Achieving this qualification indicates that students can apply concepts and interpret practical situations. It will provide them with a strong grounding for further study at Coulsdon Sixth Form College in a BTEC Level 3 Programme in Sport or other subjects.

This is a one year course.

Students must be interested in and committed to a wide range of sports and also be keen to study Sport in-depth.  Students should be willing to take part in practical activities and be able to work with others.

You will be assessed by 100% coursework on this course.

Students will begin to work on their analytical skills, through self analysis, which they will build upon if they choose to continue to study Sport at BTEC Level 3.

The exam board for this course is NCFE.
