Physical EducationStudying physical education develops health and fitness, builds teamwork, encourages new thinking and supports leadership skills. In the modern age of sport and commercialisation, the physical and mental attributes above, along with resilience and determination, are increasingly important in the modern world of sport.
The Physical Education department will create confident, independent thinkers and effective decision makers who can operate effectively as individuals or as part of a team, all skills that will enable them to stand out and effectively promote themselves as they progress through life. Studying Physical Education will prepare learners for the further study of P.E or sports science courses as well as other related subject areas such as psychology, sociology and biology. Learners will also develop the transferable skills that are in demand by further education, Higher Education and employers in all sectors of industry. Key Stage 3
What will my child learn in Physical Education? In Physical Education students will study a variety of physical activities, allowing each student to develop a diverse range of skills, techniques and tactics. The Physical Education department prides itself on developing the character of our students. Teamwork, determination and leadership are among some of the key character virtues that students will develop. How is Physical Education taught? The curriculum is delivered over four lessons per fortnight. A range of core (e.g. passing) and advanced (e.g. spin passing) skills are taught in an entirely practical context, often based around conditioned games. Students work individually, in pairs, in small groups and in teams to develop new ideas and techniques. Students will also have the opportunity to evaluate their performances. How is Physical Education assessed? Students are put into a band (1-4, with 4 being the highest band) depending on their overall sporting ability and then are assessed in a wide range of core and advanced skills for each activity. At the end of each activity (e.g. rugby) students’ skills are judged as to whether they are: ‘emerging’, ‘developing’, ‘secure’ or ‘excelling’. This will then inform how much progress they have made against their own ability (Little, Some, Good or Exceptional progress). For example, if a Band 1 students’ rugby skills were assessed as ‘developing’ in rugby, this would mean that this student can perform core skills under pressure but more complex skills will have variable success. As they are in Band 1 for their overall sporting ability they would have made ‘good’ (Green on report) amounts of progress. However, if a Band 4 students’ rugby skills were also assessed as ‘developing’ they would have made less amount of progress compared to their overall sporting ability so would have made ‘some’ (Yellow on report) amounts of progress.

What will my child learn in Physical Education? This course has been designed for students to learn about Physical Education in an academic setting, allowing them to critically analyse and evaluate physical performance and apply their experience of practical activities in developing their knowledge and understanding of the subject. This course will prepare learners for the further study of PE or sports science courses as well as other related subject areas such as psychology, sociology and biology. Learners will also develop the transferable skills that are in demand by further education and employers in all sectors of industry. How is Physical Education taught? Although the majority of the course is delivered in an academic setting, practical lessons are consistently used to allow students to apply their own experiences of sport to a wide range of theoretical concepts. Students will work individually, in pairs and in small groups to explore new concepts and ideas. The use of ICT and video analysis to evaluate performances is regularly utilised to assess strengths and areas to improve. What examination board does Physical Education follow?
