 Physical Education

Physical Education encourages students to be inspired, motivated and challenged.

 

We develop a positive attitude towards Physical Education, encouraging participation in post-school recreation and the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.

At King’s Ely, we provide a varied, purposeful and enjoyable Physical Education programme that provides every student with the chance to achieve, thereby increasing self-esteem.

Within the Physical Education department, we aim to utilise a broad range of teaching styles to cater for all of our learners, ensuring both short and long-term success in physical activities.

GCSE courses embrace the theory of anatomy, physiology, skill acquisition, sports psychology and the socio-cultural factors that determine sporting success.

This truly is a field of study which provides the student with a whole host of career and Higher Education options.

GCSE Overview

 

There are three components to assessment which are two written papers and a practical assessment in three activities from a specified list.

Paper 1: The Human Body and Movement in Physical activity and sport

Students should develop knowledge and understanding of the key body systems and how they impact on health, fitness and performance in physical activity and sport.

Paper 2: Socio-Cultural influences and well-being in Physical activity and Sport

Students should develop knowledge and understanding of the impact of society and psychological factors that can affect performance in physical activity and sport.

Practical Assessment

Practical performance in three different physical activities in the role of player/performer (one in a team activity, one in an individual activity and a third in either a team or in an individual activity.

For each of these three activities students will be assessed in skills in progressive drills and in the full context. Students will also be assessed on their analysis.
