Physical Education

KS3

In KS3 pupils are taught through varied activity groups e.g. invasion games or net and wall rather than specific sports. This allows teachers the flexibility to teach groups dependant on expertise, needs, abilities, wants and facilities. Lessons will cover several different areas of learning but the focal point and P,K,M ILO for each lesson and activity group remain the same for all, as per the department assessment policy and shared thinking. Pupils work through topic areas on a carousel throughout the year, which is based around seasonal provision and facility spacing. Over year 7, 8 and 9 pupils develop their RWBA P,K,M PE profile. Developing their physical performance, knowledge and understanding and mindset.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

KS4

In KS4 pupils are given the opportunity to select pathways which form their focus for the year, allowing them to specialise in activity areas of choice. Pupils select from Aesthetics, Fitness, Games and Leadership. Throughout the year these pathways are then complemented with a variety of alternative activities agreed between teachers and pupils. Pupils continue to develop their RWBA P,K,M PE profile in year 10 and 11 but with assessment focus on their chosen specialist pathway. They are awarded a certificate in summary of their RWBA PE journey at the end of the year for addition to pupil’s records of achievement. 

Examination PE at RWBA

In support of pupils having a diverse option of examination choices we offer qualifications within PE across both key stage 4 & 5. All of which remain a popular pupil choice. We feel we have an offer for all pupils at RWBA.  

KS4 Edexcel GCSE PE & OCR Cambridge National - As a result of the difficulties some pupils are facing in accessing the GCSE qualification, provision has been made for a CNAT alternative. From experience and knowledge of other schools it is the departments aim to run an option of a ‘Sport & PE qualification.’ Pupils will then be placed on the appropriate course based on analysis of data and pupil profile. This process is complemented by the provision of taster sessions as part of the year 9 core curriculum plus.  

The provision of dual qualifications in the subject caters for a wider variety of pupils whilst maximising their attainment and improving department and school results.
