Course Summary

Physical Education is a great subject to study at A Level for those that are interested in the world of sport. We look at the body in detail through two physiology units, looking at topics covering areas such as the respiratory system, sports injuries, and biomechanics/movement analysis. There are also topics such as aggression in sport and equal opportunities that look into the wider role sport plays in society.

How will it be delivered and assessed?

Two written Exams and Practical Performance; Paper 1 - 35% of A Level, Paper 2 - 35% of A Level, Practical Performance- 30% of A Level

Entry requirements

5 or more standard GCSE passes or higher (grade 4 or higher) including GCSE Maths and either English Language or English Literature at a grade 4 or above. If a student is applying for a course in a subject that they have studied at GCSE it is expected that a student would have achieved at least a standard pass (grade 4) in this subject.

Your next steps...

The subjects students learn about will be invaluable at a personal level and will help them to be better at sport, no matter what the individual standard. This A Level also opens up a whole number of career options, for example as a PE teacher, sports coach, personal trainer, sports scientist, physiotherapist, nutritionist, or jobs within sports development.
