What the college says

Studying A Level Physical Education will give you a fantastic insight into the world of sports performance. Not only will you have the chance to perform and be assessed in a chosen sport, you will also develop a wide-ranging knowledge into the how and why of physical activity and sport. The combination of physical performance and academic challenge provides an exciting opportunity for students. You will develop theoretical knowledge and understanding of the factors that underpin physical activity and sport and use this knowledge to improve performance. In the practical performance component of the course, you will refine your ability to perform effectively in physical activity and sport by developing skills and techniques, using tactics and strategies and analysing and evaluating to improve performance. The course will also give you the opportunity to improve as effective and independent learners and as critical and reflective thinkers with curious and enquiring minds.
