I’ve loved PE during my time at Carmel as the lessons have always been fun and there have been plenty of trips available throughout the two years which tie in to what we were learning.
The teachers really help with getting you the top grades you need to get to university and provide lots of support straight from the start of Y12 till the end.
A level PE was by far the best subject I’ve been a part of in all my years of education, the staff are fully committed to helping you achieve, giving us the best resources and preparing us for exams from Day 1.
Despite the subject being difficult the staff are always pushing you to do your best and giving their time to bring out the best in you. On top of that taking us on various trips relevant to the future career paths of students.
A level PE creates a hard working environment which makes it much more meaningful when you are successful giving students a sense of pride in their work ethic used to achieve.
I would recommend it highly to anyone with a keen interest in the subject.
