Sport is all around us – it pervades all areas of society whether we like it or not, and Felsted is no different. Every lesson will result in pupils discussing examples of theory being applied in their everyday life, varying from the relevance of dietary supplements in Exercise Physiology to effective strategies for managing competitive anxiety in Sports Psychology. The PE Department is at the forefront of the school’s use of mobile learning and pupils will find themselves flipping roles regularly, being expected to lead the learning of their classmates on a specific topic. In choosing PE, you will learn many additional skills on top of your academic learning, such as how to observe, analyse and provide effective feedback – skills that are eminently transferable to Higher Education and the workplace. You will be expected to evaluate several points of view, arrive at a conclusion and use evidence to justify your statements. Ultimately, many of the problems you are presented with have multiple solutions; you will develop your problem-solving skills to identify the best course of action. A Level PE pupils learn what it means to work as part of a team and how to lead that team effectively.
A 5 in GCSE English and in Double Science or at least two individual Sciences. Previous study of GCSE Physical Education is strongly recommended.
