Sport and Physical Education
Board: AQA (7582)
INTRODUCTION
You will need a natural interest in sporting activity and a willingness to examine sport critically from several
perspectives. The expectation is that you participate regularly in at least one sport outside of school to a
high standard either as a performer or as a coach. This will contribute 15% towards your A Level.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
We would expect you to achieve a grade 6 or above in GCSE PE, as well as an APS of 4.5 or above.
COURSE CONTENT
Sport and Physical Education is designed to develop knowledge and understanding of the factors
influencing performance in a variety of activities and how performance may be improved through analysis
and practice. You will study how the body and mind work in Physiology, Biomechanics and Psychology.
You will look at how sport has developed through history and the influence of social and cultural factors on
participation in physical activity as well as the ever changing impact of technology in sport. Every
opportunity will be taken to put theory into practice and you will be expected to involve yourself in practical
experiments and demonstrations.
