Coming Soon - Keep your eye on the PEFocus website for great new resources for busy 'socio-cultural' teachers.

The aim of this site is to help students and teachers with the socio-cultural aspects of their A Level PE programmes.

My name is Sarah van Wely. I have been involved with A Level PE since it started in 1986. I teach part time in a sixth form college, but work mainly as a freelance consultant presenting workshops and revision courses for students and Inset courses for teachers.

I have co-authored the OCR endorsed AS and A2 student texts, teacher resource files and student revision guides (all published by Heinemann).

I also produce and market my own resources (Powerpoint presentations and teacher resource files) for use by colleagues in the classroom. My Masters Degree is in Sports History and Culture.

Each of the examination boards structures the socio-cultural aspects of their A level PE course differently

For AQA and Edexcel, sports history is studied at AS level whereas OCR do it as an option at A2

AQA study the elite performer in the USA and France
(a compulsory part of an A2 module)

It is also compulsory for Edexcel who look at more areas/countries but only one is examined.

OCR do comparative as an option at A2
(covering three compulsory countries: USA, France and Australia)

What about sporting issues such as drugs, deviance and the media?

OCR cover them at AS level

Edexcel also cover them at AS but as part of an Olympic case study

AQA study sporting issues in A2 as part of an analysis of the elite performer

As you see, that much of the same stuff is covered, but at different depths and at different parts of the course!
