This course will give you a fantastic insight into the mesmerising world of sports performance. You will have the chance to perform a sport through the non-exam assessment component as well as develop an in-depth understanding of the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of physical activity and sport. This course provides an exciting and invaluable opportunity to combine both physical performance and academic challenges. You will study Physical Education through a range of different contexts, exploring concepts such as its impact on our everyday lives, the reasons why we do things, and why some people outperform others mentally and physically. You will also investigate the ethical considerations behind the use of drugs and the influence that modern technology is having on physical activity and sport. An A-Level in Physical Education is a useful qualification to have. It can serve as an excellent base for a university degree in Sports Science, Sports Management, Healthcare, or Exercise & Health. This A-Level can also complement further study in Biology, Human Biology, Physics, Psychology, Nutrition, Sociology, and many more.
A minimum of 6 grade 4s, including a grade 4 or above in GCSE English Language, is required. GCSE Maths must also be at grade 3 as a minimum. If GCSE Maths is at a grade 3, you would have to resit it. Students will also be examined in the early weeks of the course to assess whether or not they’re more suited for the BTEC Level 3 Certificate.
At AS-Level, you will be Assessed by three end-of-year assessments, which will be split over two examination papers. In paper one, you will explore physical factors affecting performance. In paper two, you will investigate psychological and socio-cultural themes in physical education. In the non-exam assessment (NEA) part one, you will undertake one practical performance as a performer in an activity. The non-exam assessment (NEA) part two will be a performance analysis task. The opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of both theory and performance skills can be displayed in both your examinations and NEA.
