The content has been designed to enable students to critically analyse and evaluate physical performance and apply experience of practical activity in developing their knowledge and understanding of the subject. The examined components will provide the knowledge and understanding which underpin the non-exam assessment (NEA). The NEA within this specification allows learners to explore an activity in detail as a performer or coach, chosen from a wide variety of sporting activities. Learners will also analyse and evaluate performance in a chosen activity as part of their NEA.
Although it is likely that a student studying A-Level Physical Education will have taken GCSE Physical Education, this is not a requirement. It is more important that a student can perform or coach a sport on the prescribed list to a good level.
