What the college says

The study of A Level Physical Education gives you a valuable insight into the amazing world of sports performance. You will link key sporting ideas with practical performance and gain an insight into the relationship they have with each other. You will enjoy exploring the history of sport, how your body responds to exercise and why you do not always perform at your best in competition. You will have the opportunity to either coach or play a competitive sport through the non-examined element of the course. You will study Anatomy, Physiology, Nutritional Science, and Biomechanics. A Level PE will also develop many transferrable skills valued by Higher Education establishments and employers. These include analytical skills, problem-solving and decision-making skills. You will also develop your psychological understanding of people and how they think and act under pressure.
