A Level PE is for strong sports performers who are interested in extending their knowledge and understanding of how the systems of the body work and how this impacts health and exercise.
This course is predominantly theory, however there are regular opportunities to learn in a practical environment. Regular sports fixture’s are available as well as trips, visits and guest speakers. This course works well alongside other A Levels.
