Physical Education at Key Stage 3

We aim to develop physically educated, confident young learners who have the knowledge, motivation and 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.

Assessment

Across the key stage, students will participate in a number of different sports and roles. These include:

Rounders
Coach
Volleyball

Netball
Handball
Athletics
Official
Football
Rugby
Health Related Fitness
Dance

Fitness Testing
Badminton
Choreographer

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

For example:

	Step
	Year 7	Year 8
Towards	WT1	WT1 OR 1
At	1 2	2 3
Beyond	3 4	4 5

 

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.
