Prime School International: Vocational Specialisation in Sports and Business with UCAS Credits

Prime School International stands out by offering a complete educational approach that goes beyond the traditional academic curriculum. In addition to the rigorous and globally recognised Cambridge International Curriculum, the school specialises in two key vocational areas: Sports and Business Management. These areas are delivered through professional programmes at Level 2 and Level 3, providing direct access to UCAS credits — essential for university admission in the UK and other countries.

Vocational Education Integrated with the Cambridge Curriculum

At Prime School International, students don’t have to choose between academic and practical learning. Through an integrated learning model, students can:

  • Complete their IGCSEs (Level 2) and A-Levels or BTEC Extended Diplomas (Level 3)
  • Earn internationally recognised qualifications
  • Develop practical, career-focused skills in high-demand sectors
  • Accumulate UCAS points, easing their path to university

Vocational Pathways on Offer

📈 Business and Management

The Business programme equips students with the knowledge and skills needed for today’s competitive world, including:

  • Business planning and operations
  • Marketing and finance
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Leadership and decision-making

Ideal for students aiming for careers in business administration, finance, economics, or entrepreneurship, either through higher education or directly into the job market.

⚽ Sport Science & Coaching

The Sports pathway combines theory and hands-on experience, allowing students to:

  • Study anatomy, sports psychology, and nutrition
  • Gain skills in coaching, leadership, and team management
  • Undertake internships and real-world projects with partner clubs and institutions

Perfect for students interested in careers as coaches, sports scientists, fitness trainers, or those pursuing university degrees in sport-related fields.

International Recognition and UCAS Credits

Prime School’s vocational qualifications are aligned with the UK’s RQF (Regulated Qualifications Framework). Upon completing Level 3 programmes, students earn UCAS points, which are vital for applications to:

  • UK universities
  • International universities that accept UCAS
  • Higher education programmes in Europe and beyond

For example: a student who completes a Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma with strong performance earn the equivalent of three A-Levels, which is sufficient to apply to universities like Coventry, Southampton, and other top 50 institutions in the UK.

Build a Purposeful Future

At Prime School International, we believe education should prepare students for real life, combining theory, practical experience, and a sense of purpose. Vocational specialisation acts as a bridge between school and the job market, or between secondary education and university.

🎓 Cambridge Curriculum + Vocational Qualifications = More opportunities for your future.
