Subject Intent: Why Physical Education?
In this modern era it is important that students understand the importance of exercise and our Physical Education curriculum is designed to enable learners to become confident, resilient and healthy learners; both theoretically and applied practically and encourage a lasting interest in sport and physical recreation.
Applied general and A-level routes require students to be meta-cognitive and self-regulating in their grasp of exercise physiology and each route demands a confidence in applying this knowledge into different roles within challenging environments (for instance, community fitness centres or competitive sport).
What will I study?
We study the OCR A-level Physical Education specification. Paper 1
Applied Anatomy and Physiology.
Exercise Physiology.
Biomechanics.
Paper 2
Skill Acquisition.
Sports Psychology.
Paper 3
Social and cultural factors influencing sport.
Contemporary influences in modern day sport.
Physical Education
Please note: Subject videos have been filmed from colleges across our Trust.
What are lessons like in this subject?
Sports psychology and skill acquisition PE lessons often require practical examples and so local community sports clubs are utilised for practical application of content eg. golf, squash or climbing.
Exercise physiology lessons require developing understanding of training and so local community gym facilities are used to support this area of A-level PE eg.
spinning, strength training or cardio sessions. One competitive sport is practically assessed and contributes 15% towards your final grade. Filmed evidence from college Wednesday afternoon fixtures is sent to the exam board as moderation evidence.
The full list of sports is available on the OCR A-level PE website and the list of sports is distinct and non-negotiable. You will take part in a practical moderation day annually at Hull university as part of this course alongside students from across the Trust.
Classroom lessons have variety: physiology, biomechanics, psychology, history and sociology underpin the lesson content on A-level PE.
What our students say
The course itself was really enjoyable and the teachers are very supportive. Because of PE, I was able to go on placement trips to Malta and Italy which helped to develop my coaching skills and offered unforgettable experiences. I would 100% recommend studying at New College!
Our vision can only be achieved through collaboration. Our shared belief is that raising outcomes, narrowing gaps and improving social mobility will be accomplished through proactive collaboration across all teams in the Trust, and between the Trust and its key stakeholders.
This approach has already helped us establish a track-record of outstanding results and it underpins our Trust’s culture and ethos.
