GCSE Physical Education

Introduction

This course develops student understanding of the social, mental and physical aspects of sport, whilst equipping students with the knowledge and skills to develop their own practical performance.

 

The examined components will provide the knowledge and understanding which underpin the non-exam assessment (a combination of written coursework and practical assessment). Learners will analyse and evaluate performance in a chosen activity as part of their written coursework and students will partake in practical assessment across 3 sports.

 

Our core PE curriculum in Yr 7-10 prepares students for the practical assessment at GCSE PE. For example, large numbers of GCSE PE students take climbing as one of their assessed sports, and with the skills acquired through the Y8 and 10 core PE curriculum, achieve impressive grades.
