A-Level pupils follow the AQA Physical Education two-year linear course. It is not mandatory that pupils have studied Physical Education at GCSE level, however if this is the case, pupils should be prepared to complete some preparatory work before commencing the course. 70% of marks are ascribed to theory, which covers an exciting selection of Sports Science subjects - applied anatomy and physiology, skill acquisition, sport and society, exercise physiology and biomechanics, sports psychology and technology in sport.
Admission to the school is a conditional place based on achieving a minimum of 6x6 grade passes at GCSE; this is a minimum entry requirement and higher grades might be necessary in intended A Level subjects, namely the Sciences and Maths.
Pupils are assessed in two examinations, each worth 35% of the total marks available. The examination papers consist of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions. 30% of the marks are ascribed to non-exam assessment. Pupils are assessed as a performer or coach in one activity and complete a written or verbal analysis of performance piece of coursework.
