Course summary

An A level in Physical Education will equip students with both a depth and breadth of knowledge, understanding and skills relating to scientific, socio-cultural and practical aspects of physical education. The focus of the course is being able to apply a variety of concepts to not only high-level performance in a range of sports but also what contributes to a balanced, active and healthy lifestyle. Studying Physical Education at A Level will open many doors for you. Whether it be studying a related degree in Higher Education or accepting an apprenticeship in the leisure industry. Many of our previous pupils have gone on to read Sport and Exercise Science at top institutions in the country or pursued careers in teaching, coaching or professional sport.
