Key stage 3 Assessment
Our assessment model focuses on developing the key skills that we believe students require to be successful in sport for future academic studies and to be able to live a healthy active lifestyle when they leave school. Students are assessed across 6 key strands these are:
Knowledge of rules and Tactics
Wider sporting knowledge
Character
Effort
Practical performance
Coaching/Leadership
These strands remain the same throughout KS3 and KS4 and become increasingly challenging when comparing to the age related expectations for that year group. For example the age related expectations for knowledge of rules and tactics of a year 7 student will differ to the age related expectations for a year 8 and 9 student. Please see examples for each year group below.
Students complete a self-analysis 3 times a year prior to progress reports, allowing students and teachers to have personalised discussions on strengths and areas for development.
