What the college says

The A Level course equips learners with both a depth and breadth of knowledge, understanding, and skills relating to scientific, socio-cultural and practical aspects of physical education. The practical element consists of an assessment in 1 activity in both Year 12 and Year 13, either as a performer or coach, as well as an analysis and evaluation of a performance. Practical assessment is largely undertaken within students’ own time. The course is very much theoretical with an emphasis on ‘sports science’. Students will be expected to research different media to help underpin the knowledge they have gained within lessons.
