A Level Physical Education encompasses practical performance with the theory of sport, giving those individuals with a genuine interest and expertise in sport an opportunity to excel.
It is not a requirement that you should have studied Physical Education at GCSE level in order to take the A Level course in Physical Education. Several topics covered in the course are developments of work covered at GCSE but others are new. What is important is that you should have a lively and enquiring mind, an interest in Physical Education and sport, a willingness to explore new ideas and the ability to communicate your ideas effectively.
Components 1-3 will be assessed through a combination of short and extended answer papers relating to each topic. Component 4 is internally assessed and externally moderated. Performance or coaching practical Learners can be assessed in the role of performer or coach in one activity from the approved list. EAPI Learners will be assessed in the Evaluation and Analysis of Performance for Improvement (EAPI). Learners will observe a live or recorded performance by a peer in either their own assessed performance activity, or another activity from the approved list. Through observation, learners will provide an oral response analysing and critically evaluating their peers’ performance.
