Studying A Level Physical Education will give you an outstanding insight in to the world of sport and athlete performance. The course is studied through a variety of different contexts and the impact that it has on everyday life. You will learn the reasons why some people out perform others, mentally and physically, why some people are influenced to participate in certain sports and why some performers do not succeed. The course also provides you with the skills to critically analyse and evaluate your own and others' physical performance and apply your experience of practical activity in developing your knowledge and understanding of the subject. The course is an excellent platform for you to gain the knowledge, understanding and skills required to access higher education, employment or further training both specific to Physical Education as well as many other transferable skills.
We ask that all students achieve grade 4 or equivalent (a Level 2 pass) in at least 4 subjects, alongside the following subject specific entry requirements: • Grade 5 in GCSE PE or Grade 5 in GCSE Science • Must be competing actively in an external sport
The theoretical examination based section of the course accounts for 70% and is split into 30% Anatomy & Physiology, 20% Psychological factors and 20% Socio-cultural issues in physical activity and sport. The final 30% of the course is non-examination assessment split into 15% practical performance and 15% evaluating and analysing performance.
