What the college says

The A level PE qualification is linear; which means that students will sit all their exams and submit their non-exam assessment (NEA) at the end of the two year course. The exam board is AQA and the course involves the study of Physical Education across seven components and also the commitment to a full sided version of one sporting activity as either a performer or coach. The two year A level course is split into 70% theory and 30% practical.
