This course combines the development of your Physical Education theory, whilst encouraging you to develop your practical skill set. We are proud of our performance in A-Level PE, with students often going on to study sports-related courses at undergraduate level.

You will study how modern day sport has emerged alongside contemporary issues such as drugs, the media and the Olympics. You will learn about anatomy and physiology, examining in detail how the body’s systems affect sporting performance. In the second year, we look at biomechanics, energy systems and injury prevention.

The course has a component relating to how we learn skills and sports psychology as well as a practical element where performance is measured in one sport along with an assessed speech.
