Complete AQA AS level Physical Education Past Papers

We’ve designed our AS and A-level specifications to be fully co-teachable, making it easier to plan your student’s journey. You’ll be familiar with most of the content, so you can still use your existing resources.

The activity list and the practical weighting will be the same across all exam boards, but we’ve worked with teachers, the Youth Sport Trust and higher education to refresh some topics and produce engaging specifications. There’ll be free resources, events and practical guidance to support you with planning, teaching and preparing your students for assessment.

Why choose AQA for AS Physical Education

Our AS and A-level Physical Education qualifications allow students to play to their strengths and gain dynamic theoretical and practical skills for further education or work. We’ve worked with teachers, higher education, the Youth Sport Trust and other subject experts to design our specifications. You’ll be familiar with most of the content, yet you’ll see we’ve refreshed a number of topics to reflect contemporary changes.

Our specifications are co-teachable, so you can teach your AS students alongside your first year A-level students, allowing for flexibility and effective lesson planning.
