KS4 PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Congratulations on gaining Gamesmark Platinum Award 2022/23 – 2023/24
This was awarded for our continued development and innovation of the college curriculum and extra-curricular activities including inclusion, clubs, curriculum design and student voice.
Curriculum rationale:
As outstanding practitioners, we as Physical Education teachers deliver exciting, high quality lessons to all students.
In year 10, students will participate in 1 x 100 minutes Physical Education lesson per week.
In year 11, students will participate in 1 x 50 minutes Physical Education lesson per week.
Curriculum Plan:
Year 10 Core:
Within these lessons the students are given more options and the lessons are tailored to meet the needs of the students, with a common theme running through the activities/sports.
PE is taught in options groups with a wide range of abilities in each group. Each student will opt for a sport / physical activity to participate in every 8 lessons, whilst setting individual targets that they would like to achieve.
You will study a variety of sports/activities which focus on:
- Out-witting opponents.
- Exercise and healthy lifestyle.
- Performing at a maximum level.
- Accurate replication of skill.
- Identify and problem solving.
- Exploring and communicating ideas, concepts and emotions.
During Year 10 students are also given the opportunity to participate and gain an inhouse qualification in leadership. This is a qualification that allows student to develop not only their leadership skills, but improves confidence, organisation, social skills and preparation. All skills we feel will create an independent, well rounded student.
You will study how:
- To officiate.
- To develop existing skills and learn complex skills.
- To develop teamwork, social and communication skills.
- To develop leadership and interpersonal skills.
- To plan and deliver successful leadership sessions.
