P.E.

Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4

Subject Statement

Key Stage 3 students at Tunmarsh will be given the opportunity to develop the three essential aspects of their physical education; Practical, Cognitive and Social. We create a fun and safe environment for our young people to learn at their own pace and to be able to express themselves whilst developing their physical education. The students' learning in core PE will help them to develop their sporting ability as well as develop socially. 

Students in Key Stage 4 will be given the opportunity to gain a BTec Introductory Award in PE. The purpose of this qualification is to help students develop the transferable skills, attributes and behaviours needed for them to progress to further study and ultimately to employment. The qualification requires learners to complete routine, simple and directed tasks by applying their knowledge and skills. 

The Introductory Award is designed around practical skills and tasks, enabling students to show what they can do, rather than just what they know in theory. Students will work through one compulsory task, as well as one task from a choice of activities.

As they work through the tasks set, students will be able to set their own targets and assess their progress through the course. There is no written exam at the end of this course, as students will produce all the evidence required to show that they have met all the assessment objectives, which will then be internally assessed.
