Overview
Why study Physical Education?
The content has been designed to allow learners to study Physical Education (PE) in an academic setting, enabling them to critically analyse and evaluate their physical performance and apply their experience of practical activity in developing their knowledge and understanding of the subject.
The examined components will provide the knowledge and understanding which underpin the non-exam assessment (NEA). The NEA within this specification allows learners to explore an activity in detail as a performer or coach, chosen from a wide variety of sporting activities. Learners will also analyse and evaluate performance in a chosen activity as part of their NEA.
Course Content
The A Level Physical Education specification content is divided into four components. Each component is further sub-divided into topic areas and the detailed content associated with those topics. This specification is designed to be co-teachable with the stand-alone AS in Physical Education.
Careers/Higher Education
This course will prepare learners for the further study of PE or sports science courses as well as other related subject areas such as psychology, sociology and biology. Learners will also develop the transferable skills that are in demand by further education, Higher Education and employers in all sectors of industry.
This specification will create confident, independent thinkers and effective decision makers who can operate effectively as individuals or as part of a team – all skills that will enable them to stand out and effectively promote themselves as they progress through life.

Our Year 13 graduates have gone on to some of the best universities in the country, as well as higher or degree apprenticeships and employment.
We bring education and business together in a way that gives our students the very best preparation for high quality careers, working with top employers and university partners, including the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, Palo Alto Networks, Medilink UK, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield Eagles, Sheffield Sharks, The University of Sheffield and Westfield Health.
Our higher education sponsor, Sheffield Hallam University, and our employer partners are represented on the governing body and work closely with the UTC and the students to develop their employability skills and provide work placements.
