Physical Education
Participation in Physical Education continues throughout Years 10 & 11 for all pupils. Pupils will continue to
develop the skills that they have gained in Key Stage 3. The Key Stage 4 programme of study will follow a
broad range of activities linked to our School Games Competitions. This will enable pupils to experience a
competitive environment and participate in other physical activities designed to improve their personal
health and fitness. It is our aim that Core PE will provide an opportunity for pupils to enjoy sport and physical
activity without the pressure of formal assessments.
Pupil involvement
Pupils are expected to prepare appropriately for activities and should have a good understanding of the
correct techniques, rules & tactics. Pupils will develop their understanding of the importance of a healthy
active lifestyle through a variety of activities. Pupils are involved in the analysis of sports performance and
they will take on a variety of roles including coach, official and performer. Pupils will have the opportunity
to conduct themselves in a competitive environment whilst displaying character building values such as
sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork and honesty. Pupils are also encouraged to take part in the wide range
of extracurricular opportunities available at Key Stage 4 to ensure that they access at least 2 hours of high
quality physical education and sport per week.
