Wider Achievement Course Choice KEMNAY ACADEMY

Wider Achievement refers to learning opportunities beyond the classroom and curriculum subjects that give students the opportunity to develop important transferable skills for learning, life and work. What is Wider Achievement? Wider Achievement has always been a part of the senior phase curriculum at Kemnay Academy but we are planning on making it more integrated into the timetable.

Wider Achievement is an important aspect of Curriculum for Excellence Why we are offering Wider Achievement Allows pupils to choose additional classes that are of interest to the pupils Allows pupils to gain additional accreditation e. g.

There are two units: Level 1: Laws of the Game - This is mainly theoretical and focuses on identifying and interpreting the laws. Level 2: Practical Refereeing - This requires pupils to apply theoretical knowledge to interpret situations, and includes a fitness component, report writing, and the opportunity to referee a match.
