A Level Physical Education, a well-respected academic qualification, is a very challenging subject covering many diverse areas. It aims to equip pupils with both a depth and breadth of knowledge, understanding and skills relating to scientific, sociocultural and practical aspects of physical education. As well as giving pupils the opportunity to learn theoretically and in a practical context, the course allows pupils to optimise practical performance in a chosen sport, through performance, analysis and evaluation in competitive situations. The course prepares pupils well for study at a higher level, as well as having links to other A Level subjects.
Candidates should have a good pass in GCSE Physical Education. In individual cases pupils who have not done GCSE Physical Education may also be considered for the course. Pupils also need to have a good standard of practical performance in one chosen sport. In the case of pupils new to the school they will be required to provide evidence of their practical achievements.
The course is assessed through 2 written papers sat at the end of the 2-year course. • Paper 1 is marked out of 105 and worth 35% of the A Level. • Paper 2 is marked out of 105 and worth 35% of the A Level. • Practical performance is marked out of 90 and contributes 30% of the A Level. • The overall weighting of the course is 70% theoretical and 30% practical of the total A Level mark.
