PE

We offer PE at GCSE and at AS/A2 level.
At GCSE the syllabus is 60% practical and 40% theory. Pupils have to offer four different activities and are assessed in different roles including coaching and refereeing. The theoretical element is an interesting mix of disciplines including Physiological and psychological aspects and contemporary issues.

academic_PEThe AS/A2 syllabus looks at the various disciplines which go to make up physical education and sport. In addition to practical assessment and coursework, we study physiology and exercise physiology, psychology and the history of sport. Students are also required to produce a personal performance portfolio in which they analyse their own performance in their best sport and implement a training program to improve.

The study of physical education combines well with a number of subjects and is an interesting mix of theoretical concepts linked to practical activity.
