Curriculum rationale:

As outstanding practitioners, we as Physical Education teachers deliver exciting, high quality lessons to all students.

In year 10, students will participate in 1 x 100 minutes Physical Education lesson per week.

In year 11, students will participate in 1 x 50 minutes Physical Education lesson per week.

Year 10 Core:

Within these lessons the students are given more options and the lessons are tailored to meet the needs of the students, with a common theme running through the activities/sports.

PE is taught in pathways with a wide range of abilities in each group. Each student will opt for a pathway at the start of the academic year and follow that pathway throughout the year, whilst setting individual targets that they would like to achieve.

Please see here for pathways: Year 10 Population A and Year 10 Population B

You will study a variety of sports/activities which focus on:

  • Out-witting opponents.
  • Exercise and healthy lifestyle.
  • Performing at a maximum level.
  • Accurate replication of skill.
  • Identify and problem solving.
  • Exploring and communicating ideas, concepts and emotions.

 Year 11 Core:

Students are given the opportunity to create the curriculum they want, therefore creating independent and confident learners in a variety of different physical activities and sports.
