Physical Education
Skill
Physical education enables students to gain knowledge of the effects that physical activity has on their health and wellbeing. Within physical education students will learn how to take part in a broad range of sports and physical activities. Students’ participation shall vary from accessing the basics of a sport or physical activity through competing within sports. Students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge through becoming physically literate in number of fundamental physical skills.
Character
Physical education aims to develop confidence in students’ self-esteem. We aim for all students to have the ability to take part in a range of physical activity inside and outside of the school environment. Within team sports students will develop co-operation and leadership skills.
Experiences
Students will experience a range of challenges through a variety of activities they get taught in. Enabling them to build the confidence and skill set to take part in these activities outside of a school setting. In addition all students shall have the opportunity to compete in intercollege team competitions in year 9 and during sports day. All students have the opportunity to further their skills and confidence through P6 clubs and school teams.
Living in an active and healthy way is an important part of a happy life. Core PE will provide you with the opportunity to participate in this healthy lifestyle and it will give you the skills and knowledge to live in an active and happy manner for the rest of your life.
Criticality
Students will be exposed to increasingly more challenging environments to work within. This will enable students to form strategic methods in order to outwit opponents within competitive sport environments. Students will also have the chance to form team or group tactics with other students in order to manage the way they apply their skills within competitive situations.
Within physical activity students shall be encouraged to analyse their health and wellbeing and shall be challenged to improve this. Students are encouraged to reflect on the components of their health and wellbeing that physical education provides.
