GCSE
Take your students out of the sports hall and onto the wall with GCSE PE Climbing at KONG. Our climbing course is designed to work in-line with secondary schools and examining boards to deliver GCSE PE practical sessions in climbing, helping students develop confidence, technical ability, resilience and decision-making in a supportive environment.
We provide structured climbing sessions aligned with the requirements of both the AQA and Edexcel GCSE PE specifications. Both boards recognise climbing as an approved individual activity within GCSE PE practical assessment, this is a fantastic way for students to work on an individual sport in a group setting, perfect for those that don’t thrive in the team sports.
Whether your students are complete beginners or experienced climbers, our instructors will tailor your sessions to help every participant reach their full potential.
