Are you passionate about sport? Driven to find out about how you can improve your performance? Interested in how our bodies push themselves to their physical peak? Keen to understand what gives Olympic champions the psychological edge over their competitors? Intrigued by why nearly one billion people would watch a single sporting event? If the answer is yes then Physical Education is for you. The course is extremely diverse, it allows you to explore and enhance your own sporting ability, but also bridges the academic divide between the arts and sciences. Who it would suit? PE suits students who have a passion for sport; students who will enjoy a fast paced and diverse course that covers many subject areas – yet is always underpinned by the student’s application to sport. Students that have taken PE have combined it with a wide array of subjects from Arts through to Physics. To study PE at A Level students must attain a B in Biology at GCSE. If you compete at a high level in at least one sport this will be very advantageous. GCSE PE and GCSE/A Level Biology may help in this course but are certainly not a requirement. What will you study? During the A Level you will study 6 theoretical modules; Applied anatomy and physiology, biomechanical movement, skill acquisition, sport psychology, sport and society and the role of technology in physical activity in sport. You will also undertake at least one practical activity either as a player/performer or as a coach.
