Physical Education

During key stage 4, pupils tackle complex and demanding activities, applying their knowledge of skills, techniques and effective performance. They decide whether to get involved in physical activity that is mainly focused on competing or performing, on promoting health and wellbeing, or on developing personal fitness. They also decide on which roles suit them best including performer, coach, choreographer, leader and official. The view they have of their skilfulness and physical competence gives them the confidence to get involved in exercise and activity out of school and in later life.

During the key stage, pupils will take part in any two of the six areas of activity listed above.

Competitive games activities are compulsory throughout key stage 3. At key stage 4, although pupils can choose other activities instead of competitive team and individual games.

GCSE Physical Education Course Outline 2011

We use the EDEXCEL exam board and do the full course. The course is split into :-

  • 40% Theory exam 1 ½ hours - only one tier. Exam comprises of multiple choice, short answers and 2 long essay type questions

Theory groups are set from English, Maths and Science sets and are moveable from the end of Year 10 after internal mock exams. Practical lessons are not set. Students do short blocks of practical sessions in the Autumn and Spring term and repeat those again in Year 11. The summer activities are a much longer block throughout the whole summer term. A final practical exam is taken in the Spring term of Year 11.

As part of the practical, students can also be assessed as a coach/leader and umpire/referee. Sports that we are unable to offer due to expertise or facilities, such as horse riding and skiing, can be submitted as one of the fours sports with video evidence.
