Physical Education (PE) A-level is an academically challenging and diverse course, requiring students to use a variety of skills not found in any other stand-alone subject. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Business and History are all applied and studied within the medium of sport, with emotional and social skill development underpinning all lessons for each individual. A-level students will leave the course as confident leaders and lifelong learners, who have been stretched and challenged on a regular basis; able to organise, manage and communicate under pressure. They will have developed highly cognitive, independent, critical thinking skills and will have been required to use their initiative and resourcefulness on a regular basis.
If GCSE PE has been studied, students should have achieved a grade 7. A strong aptitude for English Language and the sciences at GCSE is advantageous and the ability to critically analyse information and communicate insightful, detailed and balanced opinions in a well-written essay is vital to success. Grade 6 in Maths and English Language are recommended.
