The Physical Education specification offers a wide range of subject areas in an engaging format. One of the most challenging aspects of the course is the diversity of topics covered, ranging from the emergence of modern-day sport to anatomy and physiology with skill acquisition and contemporary sporting events in between. A non exam assessment is a significant part of the course, with a practical and verbal sports analysis assessment combining to make up thirty percent of the course. The practical element and development of a detailed understanding of sport, make this course very attractive to those who have a significant interest in sports, whether that be in individual or team activities. The course is also delivered in a modern and engaging way, with staff making use of a variety of teaching methods and educational technology.
For entry into the Sixth Form we require a positive end of school testimonial and normally the securing of a minimum six GCSEs, including Maths and English, at grades 9-5 (or grade equivalent). Students should achieve a grade 6 or above in those subjects they wish to take at A-Level. For subjects with no associated GCSE, the grades achieved in other subjects will be taken into consideration.
