Studying Sport

Sport is an integral part of life at St. Mary's. We have excellent on-site facilities and extensive playing fields behind our main building. We cater for students who wish to study sport, play competitive sport or enjoy physical activity for social and health reasons

In addition to our AS/A Level Sport and PE course we offer both Level 2 Sport (Diploma) and Level 3 Sport (Diploma). These courses are equivalent to four GCSEs (Level 2) and two A Levels (Level 3). We also offer an Extended Diploma which is equivalent to three A Levels.

Our sport programmes cater for a wide range of abilities and attitudes. The Sports Academy is for students who are serious about sport and have a talent for football or netball. The opportunity to compete in local, regional and national competitions is provided by our affiliation to the British Colleges Sport network of competitions. Within the College day there are numerous opportunities to get involved in team practices or recreational sport. Our Sports Leaders courses are ideal for those who want to work with children in a sporting environment.
