What the college says

AQA - In Physical Education A Level students follow the AQA 2 year qualification. We have an experienced team leading on this course and our results are consistently very good. Last year students in PE achieved 100% on or above their target grade which consisted of 100% A* - B grades. This course is assessed through two written exams, one piece of coursework and one practical assessment in chosen activity. This is a challenging course which is required for many university courses such as Physical Education, Sports Studies and Physiotherapy. Students study a range of topics including Sport Psychology, Anatomy and Physiology, Social factors affecting Sport, Biomechanics and Acquisition of Skills.
