Physical Education

KS3 PE

Pupils should build on and embed the physical development and skills learned in Key Stages 1 and 2, become more competent, confident and expert in their techniques, and apply them across different sports and physical activities. They should understand what makes a performance effective and how to apply these principles to their own and others’ work. They should develop the confidence and interest to get involved in exercise, sports and activities out of school and in later life, and understand and apply the long-term health benefits of physical activity. Pupils should be taught to: use a range of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in direct competition through team and individual games [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders, rugby and tennis] ; develop their technique and improve their performance in other competitive sports [for example, athletics and gymnastics] ; perform dances using advanced dance techniques within a range of dance styles and forms ; take part in outdoor and adventurous activities which present intellectual and physical challenges and be encouraged to work in a team, building on trust and developing skills to solve problems, either individually or as a group ; analyse their performances compared to previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best ; take part in competitive sports and activities outside school through community links or sports clubs.

KS4 PE

At Broadoak school we provide a range of options at KS4 which develops and enhances skills, knowledge learnt in KS2 and KS3. There are two options OCR Cambridge national and AQA GCSE PE both options enable pupils to further their learning and skills within physical education and give the pupils the required knowledge to progress onto college and 6th form to continue their passion for sport. These courses are run alongside Core PE where all pupils will continue their development across a range of sports and activities within KS4.
