Course summary

Studying A Level Physical Education will give you a fantastic insight into the amazing world of sports performance. Not only will you have the chance to perform or coach a sport through the non-exam assessment component, you will also develop a wide-ranging knowledge into the how and why of physical activity and sport. The combination of physical performance and academic challenge provides an exciting opportunity for students. You can perform, and then through the academic study, improve your performance or coaching throughout the application of theory. Physical education is studied through a range of different contexts and the impact it has on everyday life. You will learn the reasons why some people outperform others, mentally and physically and delve into the ethical considerations behind the use of drugs and the influence that modern technology is having in and on physical activity and sport.
