As A-level physical education combines science, psychology, sociology and practical performance it supports applications for a wide range of university courses including PE teaching; sports management; sports development, sports therapy and nutrition to name a few. In addition, the course contents of anatomy and physiology also support entry into the sports and leisure industry. For the NEA it is expected that students will be performing or coaching their activity or sport outside of school and in regular competitions (must be from the AAQA-approved activity list). It is an expectation that video evidence is collected of the student performing in their chosen activity and they will have overall responsibility of commentary of their performance. Multiple unedited videos are required to demonstrate the highest standard at which the students compete or coach providing a true reflection of their sporting or coaching ability.
Our minimum grade entry requirements for 2024 are: 5 GCSEs grade 4 and above. GCSE English and Maths (or equivalent) Grade 4 and above Subject Specific Requirements: Grade 5 in PE if taken. Grade 5 in Biology or Grade 5-5 in combined science
This course is a two year linear qualification, this means that students will sit both their exams and submit their non-exam assessment (NEA) at the end of the course. The A level examination (70%) will consist of two papers, both 2 hours long, the remaining 30% NEA will consist of a performance assessment (in the form of video evidence) and an analysis of performance.
