It is our aim to offer all pupils a broad and balanced curriculum, which has sufficient depth and breadth to enable our pupils to develop their full physical and mental confidence. We aim to contribute to the overall education of young people by helping them to lead full and active lives through engaging in purposeful physical activity and sport. As well as developing core skills and tactical awareness through various sporting activities, we are also concerned with the development of other educational qualities such as leadership, social and communicative skills, character, and morals. We therefore see the variety of physical activity areas as a medium to develop and educate the \u2018Whole Child\u2019.<\/p>\n
Healthy balanced lifestyles has become a major cross-curricular drive and again plays a major part within the programme of study. Our programme offers our pupils the opportunity to experiment, investigate, observe and to discover for themselves, various principles of training and exercise. This understanding will arm them for when they have to make health related decisions on the future.<\/p>\n
Subject Intent<\/p>\n
Implementation:<\/p>\n
Impact:<\/p>\n
The PE Journey through the key stages:<\/strong><\/p>\n Key stage 3<\/u><\/p>\n During Key Stage 3 all students will experience 4 hours of high-quality PE per fortnight, which will allow them to experience a wide range of physical skills and core values. Students will be assessed and placed into groups which will rotate around a variety of sports throughout the year. Each sport will develop linking core skills between activities, for example; developing sending and receiving skills within outwitting opponents, or fielding skills within striking activities. This will enable students to build the concept of transferring skills and tactics throughout a wide range of activities.<\/p>\n The groupings in Key stage 3 are designed and allocated so that the learning environment and curriculum can help build the key concepts of enjoyment, confidence, leadership, and communication for each individual child.<\/p>\n Assessment <\/u><\/p>\n In an academic year, every student at St Edward\u2019s school will have participated in a variety of practical areas: outwitting opponents, performing at maximum levels, striking and fielding, aesthetics and net games. During each assessment, students will be assessed across numerous strands which underpin key fundamental knowledge and understanding of sport in technique, and skill application in the sporting environment,<\/p>\n Key stage 4<\/u><\/p>\n In years 10 and 11, our main focus is on Sport for Life<\/em>. Students are given far more flexibility in the sports that they choose to develop and pursue. A student\u2019s well-being and personal desires are at the forefront of the curriculum. Student\u2019s will have the ability to pick the activities that they would like to study and the curriculum is then personalised around their choices.<\/p>\n Within KS4 we also offer a very successful academic PE options process. Students are able to opt onto these courses that run for 2 years (year 10 and 11). We offer 2 pathways, OCR national and GCSE PE (for more information regarding these two courses, please refer to our KS4 options page).<\/p>\n Key stage 5<\/u><\/p>\n At KS5 we continue with similar pathways from KS4 where students can continue their studies in A-level PE and OCR technical (single and double award). This allows the students to follow a direct academic pathway that individually suits them.<\/p>\n (For more information, please refer to the course outlines which can be found in the 6th<\/sup> form area of our website).<\/p>\n In addition to the academic pathway, we still pursue our intent of Sport for Life<\/em>, and we make sure that there is the opportunity for students to attend 6th<\/sup> form sport every week. We continue our options process to allow students to have the freedom to pick sports enabling mass participation from the ages of 16 to 18.<\/p>\n Extra-curricular PE (Yr7 to Yr 13)<\/u><\/p>\n We strongly encourage all students from all key stages to partake in extra-curricular clubs from a range of different areas to ensure a range of skills are being developed continually. Our extra-curricular programme is actively part of the whole school community as well as providing students with the opportunity to represent the school in both intra and inter-school fixtures. We firmly believe this enriches and broadens the educational opportunities open to all students. Our extra-curricular programme changes termly to enable students the opportunity to participate in more sports throughout the academic year.<\/p>\n Academic pathways:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>OCR National level 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Who is this course aimed at?<\/p>\n Cambridge National Certificate Level 1\/Level 2 OCR.<\/p>\n \u00a0Who is this course aimed at?<\/p>\n \u00a0This is an option subject which caters for all learners who are enthused and motivated by sport! The course is largely non-examined assessment meaning students generate evidence against certain set criteria as they progress through the 2 year course. There is only 1 examination worth just 25% of the overall mark. The course is therefore aimed at those students who prefer project type work rather than exams. If you want to develop your sports performance, be a better sports leader and learn about other aspects of sport such as the Olympics, National Governing Bodies and the relationship with the media, this is the course for you!. This course is relevant if you wish to go on to study a Cambridge Technical in Sport at sixth form.<\/p>\n How will I be assessed?<\/p>\n Exam information: 1 written exam of 1 hour (25%).<\/p>\n Coursework: 3 units worth 25% each. Practical sport (largely assessed via practical lessons and will include you being an official). Leadership in Sport (evidence by you planning, leading and evaluating a session). Media in Sport (assessed with posters, leaflets, presentations and mini-essays). All coursework units are entered to the exam board at a set time however, they can be resubmitted if you wish to better your mark.<\/p>\n Will I enjoy the course?<\/p>\n You are most likely to enjoy this course if\u2026you love PE but may not have the necessary sport performance level to complete the GCSE PE course or you love PE but prefer to be assessed in project-based work rather than via an exam! Your enjoyment of this course will be increased if you are prepared for the fact that some lessons will be classroom based!<\/p>\n What will be expected of me?<\/p>\n Students are expected to\u2026 participate in all practical lessons, meet the required deadlines, keep up to date with paperwork and be prepared for practical assessments including leadership sessions.<\/p>\n What will I study?<\/p>\n Unit 1 Contemporary issues in Sport (Written exam) examples of what you will learn about:<\/p>\n Unit 2 Developing Sport Skills (Coursework- computer based and practical) You will learn how to: Utilise the key components of performance in individual and team activities.
