Physical Education

UPDATED 20151217 14:15:20

The A Level Physical Education course develops many transferable skills: leadership, communication, resilience, independent thinking and problem solving, as well as the ability to draw together knowledge and analyse sources to construct extended essay type answers, all of which are essential for further study or future employment. Students regularly secure places at Russell Group Universities, who recognise the value of these skills during their selection process. This course provides a natural progression for candidates who have studied GCSE Physical Education but should not be discounted by students who have not previously studied PE but have a strong interest in the subject. It provides a balanced and broad based course, worthwhile in its own right as well as a transition for those intending to study courses at a Higher Education level in areas not necessarily related to Physical Education. This subject works particularly well with: Sciences (Biology, Physics or Chemistry), History, Geography, Statistics, Technology, Psychology, Dance. Students will be expected to complete coaching or officiating courses in areas such as Badminton, Netball and Table Tennis. The choice of activity will vary each year to suit the strengths of the class. The PE Department has outstanding facilities including two designated theory classrooms with ICT facilities, four badminton court sports hall, dance studio, gymnasium, full size astroturf and a state of the art fitness studio. As part of the A Level PE course, all students are given free membership to the Fitness Gym.
