Physical Education at Key Stage 3
We aim to develop physically educated, confident active learners who have the knowledge, motivation and inter-personal skills to live a lifelong, healthy and active lifestyle.
We will provide a range of opportunities for them to compete in sport and other activities that help build character and embed values such as fairness and respect.In Key Stage 3 the students will be given the opportunity to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in a variety of sports. We will provide opportunities for all pupils to become physically confident and competent to inspire them to follow a healthy and active lifestyle.
We will encourage all our young people to enjoy, succeed and excel in sport recreationally and competitively.

Students are assessed at the end of each activity block and given a grade according to their step.
For example:
|

Year 8 |
|

WT1 |
WT1 OR 1 |

The students are expected to record their assessments in their student planners and set a personal target for themselves specific to that sport.
In Year 7 a student in Football can be given:
T = Working towards the step we expect a Year 7 to be at.
A = Working at the step we expect a Year 7 to be at.
B = Working beyond the step we expect a Year 7 to be at.
A broad range of extracurricular activities give an excellent opportunity for pupils of all years to take part, learn, enjoy and excel at their chosen sport or sports.
