Subject: | Physical Education |
Subject Overview:
The purpose of physical education lessons is to ensure that all learners are fit, healthy, happy and enjoy participating in physical activity. Core PE lessons will develop skills based around the Youth Sport Trust’s ME in PE model, covering Physical, Thinking, Healthy and Social ME strands which will provide them with the key characteristics required to ensure they all reach their full potential in life. In Core PE, learners will participate in two practical lessons a week in years 7, 8, 9 and 11 and one practical lesson in year 10. Learners will cover a wide range of sports and activities throughout a year, changing activity every four weeks. Learners in year 10 who have opted into PE will study the BTEC Technical Award in Sport qualification. This will cover a variety of topics across three components, two of which are internally assessed through controlled assessments and the third through a written exam. |
