Threshold Concepts for PE
We have identified the key knowledge and skills which students need to secure to give them a firm foundation on which to build further learning. We refer to these as threshold concepts and it our intention that every student secures these threshold concepts in order to make outstanding progress through the PE curriculum.
We have included below the subject threshold concepts for PE. You can support your son/daughter’s progress by regularly discussing the threshold concepts with them to help reinforce what they have learnt.
To assist you in supporting your son/daughter with any areas for development we have provided an example of signposted resources and links for each activity below.
