KS4 Physical Education
KS4 Overview
Core (Non examined) PE:
Students participate in a wide variety of activities which offers them the opportunity to develop physical competence, confidence and their ability to perform in a range of physical activities. Through this they learn how to co-operate and collaborate with others, as part of a team, understanding fairness, resilience, and equity of play to embed long lasting values. The lessons enable them to improve physical, mental and social health and have an understanding of each aspect of health. Students have a wide selection of options which helps to positive attitudes towards an active and healthy lifestyle and encourages students to continue with physical activity for a lifetime.
In Key stage 4 students:
-
use and develop a variety of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in team and individual games, for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, handball, hockey, netball, rounders, tag rugby and tennis volleyball
-
develop their technique and improve their performance in other competitive sports, for example, athletics and or other participate in other physical activities, for example, dance, aerobics, trampoline, fitness suite
-
evaluate their performances compared to previous ones and demonstrate improvement across a range of physical activities to achieve their personal best
GCSE PE:
The GCSE PE specification is designed to develop theoretical knowledge and understanding of the factors that underpin physical activity and sport and use this knowledge and understanding to improve performance. It also ensures that students understand the contribution that physical activity and sport make to health, fitness and wellbeing.
Building on KS3 and preparing for KS5…
GCSE PE covers in more detail many of the topics taught in Key Stage 3. On a practical level GCSE students can select any of the practical subjects taught in KS3 to further develop as a practical to be examined at GCSE PE level and is worth 10% of their final grade.
The following theory is introduced in KS3 and further developed at GCSE PE level:
Warm-up | Cool down | Components of Fitness | Fitness Testing | Methods of training including Circuits / Interval Training / Continuous Training | Muscles in the body
KS4 Assessment
Assessment at GCSE includes homeworks, class based tests, more formal tests in exam conditions.
Peer marking is used as well as self-marking.
