Academic PE

Bryanston currently offers students the chance to study Sport and PE to A level. We do not run a course at GCSE but students who have a reasonable grade at GCSE science are at an advantage.

Usual class sizes are approximately 10 students per group in both A3 and A2, with a usual scenario of 2 groups in A3 and 1 in A2.

In A3 there are 6 classes and 6 assignments per week.

In A2 there are 7 classes and 7 assignments per week.

In addition, all students have 2 correction periods per week.

From September 2008, the new OCR A level Physical Education course will be delivered. For information about the structure of this new A level visit the OCR website.
