'An upper-ability KS3 PE student is defined by the seamless integration of technical mastery and tactical intelligence, competently executing complex skills with expert precision while making smart, proactive decisions under competitive pressure. Beyond physical performance, they act as natural leaders who communicate effectively, support their peers, and demonstrate a "growth mindset" through resilience and reflection. Ultimately, they distinguish themselves by their ability to not only excel individually but also to analyse the game, share advanced knowledge and ideas, and elevate the performance of those around them. They should be involved in competitive sports outside of school and understand the long term benefits of leading a healthy active lifestyle.'
