Delivered over five lessons per week, of which at least one will be devoted to the practical component of the course. Students are encouraged through a range of teaching techniques to develop responsibility for their learning. All students studying A Level physical education are provided with specialist kit which enables them to access all practical lessons. The delivery of the course is split between staff from the physical education faculty. This provides students with a range of teaching methods and styles thus creating a rounded approach to the whole course. Students are also allowed to take part in extracurricular events and leadership courses which further enhance their standing within the academy. It is expected that A Level physical education students will flourish in such environments. Studying A Level physical education will give you a fantastic insight into the amazing world of sports performance. Not only will you have the chance to perform or coach a sport through the non-examination component, but you will also develop a wide-ranging knowledge of the how and why of physical activity and sport. The two-year physical education course is studied through a range of different contexts – students study three areas, all subjects in their own right, which further underpin the depth of the study of physical education and sport. You will learn the reasons why we do things, and why some people outperform others – mentally and physically. You will also delve into the ethical considerations behind the use of drugs and the influence that modern technology is having on physical activity and sports. A Level of physical education is broken down into two components. Section one consists of three theory units which include physiological factors affecting performance, including topics such as anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology, and biomechanics; psychological factors affecting performance, including topics such as skill acquisition and sports psychology; sport and society and contemporary issues, including topics such as ethics, deviance, technology, and global sporting events.
GCSE grade 5 in physical education, grade 5 in English and maths and grade 5 in science. Sporting performer at club level. Students do not need to have studied PE at GCSE level.
Section two consists of a practical assessment within physical education. This involves a physical sporting performance in one activity and an evaluation (EPI) of a sporting performance in the same or different activity.
