All students are expected to take a full and active part in all lessons. Year 7, 8, 9 students all receive two double lessons of 1 hour 40 minute lessons spread over a two week timetable.
Students at Key Stage 3 participate in a number of activities during their physical education lessons these include:
· athletics
· health related fitness
· netball
· cricket
· dance
· OAA (outdoor and adventurous activities)
Students are assessed in four aspects of physical education. These are:
developing skills and techniques
making and applying decisions
evaluating and improving
making informed choices about healthy, active lifestyles
Each sporting activity will be assessed to give an overall grade. Teachers track and monitor throughout the academic year. When reporting this information to parents and carers, teachers will give one grade that represents the average: this grade will be representative of the qualities a student shows across a range of disciplines.
