BTEC Physical Education is a very independent A Level and that’s one of the reasons why it is so enjoyable. The demands of the 100% coursework means that you if you stay organised, you will excel in the subject. Independent learning is also a skill that is essential for further education; I feel that the College has helped prepare me for the demands of University studies that I will need in the future.Tommy D'Cruz, Year 12
