A Level Physical Education

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body. It is the basis of creative intellectual activity.” - John F Kennedy

Physical Education at Advanced GCE is a very interesting and challenging course which complements not only a host of other subjects such as science, sociology and psychology, but is a fantastic study in its own right. It builds on work from GCSE but also explores a host of other subject matter including current affairs in sport.
