Teaching and Learning ● All course content is taught through practical lessons. This is to increase pupil enjoyment and engagement, aiding retention of information. ● In theory lessons, pupils are then required to apply this knowledge to their chosen activity through answering questions. ● The practical lessons are taught through a variety of activities to ensure all pupils’ interests are included. This means, at times, pupils will be doing activities that they will not be assessed in. 8
