CORE PHYSICAL EDUCATION
All students in Key Stage 4 are required to have core PE lessons. Classes are often mixed depending on the requirements of the curriculum and the student.
YEAR 10 & 11 PE CORE
For KS4 PE students, the learning process is a continuation of the activities introduced in Key Stage 3, but with practical tasks added. The change in emphasis to physical activity is a way of embedding a healthy and active lifestyle fostered in KS3, with the aim of forming a foundation for a life time of healthy living. In Year 10 and 11, students are taught a variety of team and individual activities throughout the year.
Students at Key Stage 4 participate in a number of activities during their physical education lessons the main ones include:
athletics badminton basketball cricket cross country dance football gymnastics handball health related fitness hockey netball rounders rowing rugby (union or league) softball table tennis tennis trampolining
Each sporting activity will be assessed to give an overall grade. Teachers track and monitor throughout. When reporting this information to parents and carers, teachers will give one grade that represents the average; this grade will be representative of the qualities a student shows across a range of disciplines.
Year 11 core lessons include team games. The following criteria is applied.
• Students will be put into teams that are fair.
• Each team member will be given different roles to participate in eg as coach, or warm up leader.
• Students will take responsibility for leading their lessons.

The PE Department ascribes to the Every Child Matters government initiative (ECM): every student has the opportunity to succeed because there are roles and responsibilities to cater for all children.
Those students who have not opted for GCSE PE, are monitored and assessed continually throughout Year 10 and Year 11. Assessment results are reported to parents and carers in the termly reports sent home.
• Teams will compete against each other in league and cup competitions in the different sporting disciplines; there will be game play each lesson (game play is when students compete in a match format, not in isolated drills)
Students have the opportunity to develop: •
learning – because they have an increased
understanding of different sports. In addition, a deeper knowledge of skills, tactics and strategies evolve because there is interaction between students.
• personal skills – because the PE department provide opportunities to socialise and have fun with other team members.
• responsibility – because they become more skilful
when given responsibility. Many students enjoy the freedom of being able to make decisions without the teacher’s input; as a result, students become more able to manage themselves and others.
•
leadership – because through leading activities they learn to develop leadership skills.
