| Subject Overview:
The purpose of physical education lessons is to ensure that all students are fit, healthy, happy and enjoy participating in physical activity. All students will develop practical skills in a range of activities, leadership skills and personal skills to provide them with the key characteristics required to ensure they all reach their full potential in life. In Core PE, students will participate in two practical lessons a week in years 7-10 and one lesson a week in year 11. Learners will cover a wide range of sports and activities throughout a year, changing activity every four weeks (half termly, if in Year 11). Once opted for PE, students will study BTEC First Sport, which will cover a variety of theory topics across four units of work. Three of which are assessed through coursework and the final unit through an online exam. |
