A level PE Overview
Physical Education equips students with both a depth and breadth of knowledge, understanding and skills relating to scientific, socio-cultural and practical aspects of physical education. The course enables students to refine their ability to perform effectively in physical activity and sport by developing skills and techniques, selecting and using tactics, strategies and/or compositional ideas as well as develop their ability to analyse and evaluate to improve performance.
Students work practically to develop as either a performer or coach in a sport of their choice, where they can make links with the theoretical aspects of the course. As well as being assessed as a performer, students cover a number of elements that allow them to understand the concept of sport and how to improve their performance, from anatomy and physiology and the biomechanics of movement to sport psychology and how individuals learn and improve performance.
