GCSE PE

Curriculum Intent

There are 3 core areas of learning within the GCSE PE course; you may have a lesson on one specific area or it could be a combination of all 3 areas.

1. The human body and movement in physical activity and sport
2. Socio-cultural influences and well-being in physical activity and sport
3. Non-exam assessment: Practical performance in physical activity and sport

Practical Components = 40% – 3 Practical performances in sport and 1 piece of analysis and evaluation coursework.
Theoretical Components = 60% – 2 exam papers each worth 30%

The AQA GCSE PE curriculum is ideal for able Sporting students who are both practically strong and academically able. It is highly recommended that each student studying this route-way competes at a competitive level in a minimum of two sports outlined on the specification.
