Your studies will include a diverse array of different modules under the broad umbrella of Sport and Physical Education. The focus of this course will be on participation and performance in physical activity as part of a balanced, active and healthy lifestyle. You will be taught new areas in biomechanics and sport and society. This is in order to establish A-level PE with a sports science approach to ensure a smoother transition between A-level and degree.
Entrance requirements include a GCSE predicted average of 6 or above and 7-9 in subjects planned for A-level.
The weighting of PE is 70 per cent theory and 30 per cent practical. Pupils will complete a two hour paper based on physiological factors affecting performance, a one-hour paper on psychological factors affecting performance, and a one-hour paper on socio-cultural issues in physical activity and sport. Pupils will also perform one practical sport and analyse others’ performance which is worth the remaining 30 per cent.
