INTRODUCTION
Physical Education is taught over 3 lessons a week and involves a mixture of class-based theory lessons, and also practical engagement with sports and skills, as dictated by the choices each student makes. IGCSE Physical Education is a science-based subject, and requires a high level of commitment and competency.
The syllabus provides students with an opportunity to develop their individual skills and improve performance in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Students will study a range of different theoretical concepts and apply them to the effect they have on sport and sports performance.
