PE A level as a private candidate or self teach in 6th form?

[alevels]

DS (currently in yr11) has known A level choices since year 9 and is not flexible. Unusual mix with further maths and school cant timetable all 4.

DS wants to self teach PE and get school to moderate the course work and enter the exams (no help required from school on practicals as does the sport every day outside of school. No help required with teaching as DS wants to self teach to move at faster pace (predicted 9s at GCSEs) and we could pay for private tutor. Refuses to consider not taking PE and FM and they clash. No other options in local schools and wont commute due to wanting to train at the sport each day!

If this is not an option then to enter as a private candidate but the centre would need to moderate the practical and their experience at this is hard to establish and location for exams seems problematic.

Anyone have any experience of either option? Thank you

Could he do something other than A-level to feed his interest in sport science? For instance, the OU has sports science modules, which are designed for distance learning. Or there might be some professional coaching qualifications for his sport.
If he wants to do maths at university, the other three A-levels should be fine for that, and hopefully the school would be willing to allow him to do only three if they know he is doing something worthwhile with the rest of the time and they are sure enough that he will cope with further maths. (Some schools insist on four when one is further maths, not because three isn't enough, but because further maths has a bit of a drop-out rate, and it's much easier to let students drop it if they will still be doing three.)

Thanks but in an ideal world he might combine his love of maths and pe into a career. Data scientist for Nike or such. Definitely wants to do the A level and the whole pe syllabus looks really interesting to him including the practical analysis commentary on a sport video.

Because of the NEA, A level PE is incredibly hard to do as a private candidate.

Before signing up to Oxbridge, it is worth doing some due diligence. They were offering A level PE without pupils actually being able to sit the exam/NEA. I don’t think that has changed. They also went into administration last year leaving lots high and dry. They are still selling courses without being able to fulfil them properly.

Thanks for the info @scoopofmintchocchipicecream . I was unaware of that.
