Additional Information: |
As the standard of performance required for a good practical score increases at A level, it is crucial that students are performing at club level outside of school as a minimum. Not only will this ensure that they are training and performing on a weekly basis but it will provide the environment to be able to video the required footage. A Level Biology, Psychology and Sociology are all subjects that will be beneficial for supporting understanding. |
