Physical Education

Participation in Physical Education continues throughout Years 10 and 11 for all students. Students 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 students 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 students to enjoy sport
and physical activity without the pressure of formal assessments.

Student Involvement

Students are expected to prepare appropriately for activities and should have a good understanding of the
correct techniques, rules and tactics. Students will develop their understanding of the importance of a
healthy active lifestyle through a variety of activities. Students are involved in the analysis of sports
performance, and they will take on a variety of roles including coach, official and performer. Students will
have the opportunity to conduct themselves in a competitive environment whilst displaying character
building values such as sportsmanship, fair play, teamwork and honesty. Students 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.
