Physical Education is an interesting and diverse course that challenges the students in a variety of areas. Whether you enjoy practical work, are scientifically minded, or like the social and theoretical approach, there is something for everyone. The A-level specification builds on, but does not depend on, the knowledge, understanding and skills from GCSE in Physical Education.
Students who choose A-level Physical Education must be proficient in one of the sports on the specification and dedicate time both inside and outside of school to their chosen sport; we do not devote any lesson time to the practical performance element of the course.
1. Physiological factors 30% (2-hour written paper worth 90 marks) 2. Psychological factors 20% (1 hour written paper worth 60 marks) 3. Socio-cultural in physical activity 20% (1 hour written paper worth 60 marks) 4. Performance in physical education 30% (30 marks for the practical element and 30 marks for the oral assessment)
