This course is suitable for a diverse range of candidates who wish to develop their interest in sport and physical education, fostering its value in lifelong learning thus providing a transition for those intending to study related courses in higher education and, for those not wishing to follow further study, it provides a balanced, broad–based course, worthwhile in its own right.
Pupils who have followed GCSE courses are normally required to have: • taken at least 8 subjects • achieved Grade 5 or better in Mathematics and English (Language) • achieved the entry standard for their chosen A Level subjects available to him/her in the option groups Entry requirements are a minimum of a good Grade 6 at GCSE, with an emphasis on the theoretical component. It is not necessary for candidates to have studied GCSE physical education although it is an advantage. If GCSE PE is not offered then pupils are required to have achieved at least Grade 6 in Biology or Grade 6-6 in Combined Science. Candidates are expected to be able to demonstrate a high level of performance in one specific sport and demonstrate a willingness to coach and/or officiate. Independently, they would be expected to continue the development of these skills throughout the duration of the course. It is worth noting that there is far more theoretical work and less emphasis on practical performance than at GCSE. A Level PE combines well with A Level Biology and Psychology. No matter what your career ambition, if you are passionate about sports, this course is great to take alongside other topics.
