KS3 Physical Education

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 in 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
