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.
If a student is applying for a course in a subject that they have studied at GCSE it is expected that they would have achieved at least a standard pass (grade 4) in that subject. Students are required to play regularly and compete in a sport whilst studying their A Level.
Paper 1 Written external examination: 2 hours, 105 marks. This examination accounts for 35% of the overall A Level grade. Paper 2 Written external examination: 2 hours, 105 marks. This examination accounts for 35% of the overall A Level grade. Practical performance 90 marks. Students are internally assessed on their performance and written/verbal analysis of their performance by members of the PE department, and are externally moderated. This equates to 30% of the A Level grade.
