This practical and engaging course allows learners to study Physical Education (PE) in an academic setting enabling them to critically analyse and evaluate their physical performance and apply their experience of physical activity in developing their knowledge and understanding of the subject. The non-examined practical allows students to explore the activity as a sports performer or coach where they will analyse and evaluate their performance. Students will broaden their depth of knowledge on fascinating topics such as the developing technology in sport, and the politically driven History of the Olympics. The course will prepare learners for further study of PE or sports science courses at University, as well as subject-related areas such as psychology, sociology or biology. This course is perfect for students interested in the broader aspect of Sport and PE and will develop effective decision-making skills enabling them to stand out and effectively promote themselves as they progress through life.
In general, external applicants are required to achieve at least five GCSE passes at Grade 6 or above (as required by individual subjects) for entry into our A-level courses. Minimum Grade 6 in PE or Double Science is recommended. It is strongly encouraged that students play/coach at least one sport to a club/higher level. PE GCSE is not mandatory to apply for the course.
This course is assessed through three exam papers: Paper 1: Physiological factors affecting performance (30%) Paper 2: Psychological Factors Affecting Performance (20%) Paper 3: Socio-cultural issues in physical activity and sport (20%) Non-exam assessment Practical performances (in coaching or performing) (15%) Evaluating and analysing performance improvement (15%)
