Students will develop an understanding of the long term effects/ benefits of exercise on the body. |
| Year 10 |
Core PE Students will participate in a range of individual and team sports, continuing to develop sports specific skills and challenging themselves in competition and demanding physical situations. Students will continue with their fitness focus from year 9, taking a more personal approach by developing the ability to evaluate their own fitness and plan for improvement. Students will also develop a strong understanding of the physical, mental and social benefits of sporting participation. Students will continue to develop their problem solving, leadership and communication skills from KS3 through tactical and strategic planning in a range of individual and team sports. Students will consider how fitness can fit into their home lives in a way that works for them and will gain an awareness of the sporting opportunities in the local area, encouraging them to make positive lifestyle choices post-16. GCSE PE In the first year of the course, students will be introduced to the theory behind sport and physical activity. They will focus on the structure and processes of the body systems and their functions in sports performance. They will explore fitness testing and training methods and how they can be used to develop performance. They will also begin to look at the use of data within sport. From the start of the course, students will be supported to develop active revision techniques that work for them, to support them throughout the course. They will also develop their resilience and independence through use of a range of resources within lessons and through evaluating and improving their work. In their practical sessions, they will participate in a range of individual and team sports to see where their strengths lie. They will focus on sports specific skills in isolation and their ability to apply skills and tactical knowledge to a competitive situation. If they perform in a sport outside of school, they will discuss, with their GCSE teacher, the possibility of using this for assessment purposes. PE Cambridge National Students will develop resilience and be encouraged to self-evaluate as they work to develop their coursework. They will have access to a detailed progress tracker, enabling them to monitor their own progress and plan independently for development. They will begin the course focusing on ‘The response of the body to physical activity’, which is a written assignment with a practical element that involves fitness testing and training. The second of the four sections they will study is the exam section, ‘Reducing the risk of sporting injuries’. Students will be supported to develop independent active revision techniques in preparation for their external exam in June. |

Students will consider how fitness can fit into their home lives in a way that works for them and will gain an awareness of the sporting opportunities in the local area, encouraging them to make positive lifestyle choices post-16. GCSE PE At the beginning of year 11, students will complete their coursework module. They will complete fitness tests and then develop and complete a 6 week training plan before evaluating their progress. Students will then study the socio-cultural and psychology elements of the course, explaining key concepts and evaluating the effect on participation and performance. They will complete the course content by learning how to complete a movement analysis of sporting actions using biomechanical knowledge. Students will then complete revision sessions and be supported in planning and completing independent revision for their exams. In practical lessons, students will pick their three strongest sports (including at least one team sport and one individual sport) to use for their practical assessment. Their practical lessons will focus primarily on these sports. PE Cambridge National Students will develop their understanding from their first piece of coursework in their next assignment, ‘Applying principles of training’. They will continue with the fitness testing and develop more detailed training plans. They will complete the course with their final assignment, ‘Technology in sport’, as part of which they will explore and evaluate the many ways in which technology is used within modern sport. Students will continue to be independent and aspirational by monitoring, and planning for, their own progress. |
| Year 12 |
Students will play a lead role in their learning from the start, maintaining their folder and managing their study time independently. They will develop independent research skills and personalised active revision techniques to support them throughout the course. Students will study four areas across the two years. Three of the four sections are theory based and focus on; anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology and biomechanics; skill acquisition and sports psychology; and sport in society and contemporary issues in physical activity and sport. The fourth section is the practical component, as part of which students will continue to compete in their chosen sport outside of school, keeping a competitive logbook and producing video evidence of their performance. They will also complete a synoptic piece of coursework which requires them to evaluate a peer’s performance and create a detailed plan for improvement. Students will receive individual and group support to prepare for their internal end of year exam in year 12 and their final external exams in year 13. Throughout the two years of study, students will be encouraged to explore the wide range of opportunities to follow a career within the sports industry, including consideration of relevant university courses.
