AQA: GCSE PHYSICAL EDUCATION 8582

INTRODUCTION OPTION SUBJECT

For those students who have enjoyed Physical Education in Years 7–9 and achieved a good level of competence, we offer the opportunity to study the subject as a GCSE.

The PE GCSE course seeks to build on the skills and experience gained in the lower part of the School. The course covers sports science topics including sports psychology and movement analysis alongside development of practical skills. The content is assessed by two exams and a practical assessment.

Practical performance in different physical activities is essential to completing the course and you will be assessed in 3 different sports. It is essential that you play or perform in at least two sports outside of school if you are considering GCSE PE as one of your options. As the world of sport moves forward in the 21st Century, we endeavour to echo it in our teaching of the subject utilising the School’s technology and strength and conditioning suite.

BEYOND GCSE

This course is the ideal start to Sports Science-based higher and further education courses, including the Sports BTEC Diploma course which we offer in the Sixth Form.

This GCSE also lends itself well to further study in Biology, Media Studies, Physics and Psychology.

This course is ideal for any passionate sports person who is looking to gain a greater insight into their performance and others’ performance.
