Physical Education / Sports Studies

Course summary

This practical and engaging course has been designed to allow students to study Physical Education (PE) in an academic setting, enabling them to critically analyse and evaluate their physical performance and apply their experience of practical activity in developing their understanding of the subject. You can explore an activity in detail as a performer, chosen from a wide variety of activities. You will also analyse and evaluate performance in a chosen activity. The SDC Difference is that we provide opportunities for students to develop both their Academic and Performance Pathways through the study of A-Level PE. The focus of Academic Pathways is for students to enhance their understanding of the key Sport and Exercise Science principles which underpin effective performance in sport while recognising its benefits on Health and Well-Being. Through specialism and specialist input, students will develop their Performance Pathways and continue to grow in alignment with Long Term Athlete Development.
