Subject Description:
IGCSE Physical Education (PE) offers learners the opportunity to study practical and theoretical knowledge, skills and understanding across a range of physical activities. It is designed to encourage the enjoyment of sports and physical activity by providing learners an opportunity to develop an understanding of effective and safe physical performance and to develop an appreciation for the understanding of the principles, practices and training that can improve performance and a better health and well-being, mentally, physically and socially. Students will be encouraged to develop their ability to plan, perform, analyse, improve and evaluate physical activities.
Students should choose IGCSE PE if they have a passion for sport and physical education and an interest in the understanding of performance. It is also important to be a competent sports performer, both as an individual and part of a team. IGCSE PE prepares learners for a variety of educational pathways and careers in sport and the expanding health and fitness industry.
