 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.
