Year 6 Transition

Students will undertake a carousel of activities to introduce them to PE at Nunthorpe Academy. They will need PE kit (Primary school version is fine until September) and trainers. Students will undertake lessons in same sex groups.

Key stage 3

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum to challenge and motivate all learners within the department. There is a wide range of activities covered within the curriculum to encourage all students to develop their practical skills and theoretical knowledge of sport. We have team games and individual sports that students will be assessed in. At KS3 assessment consists of students achieving a 1-4 score across 4 areas; Cognitive, Physical, Social, and Emotional. The score will then be added up out of 16. From this, students are given a working at grade which would be foundation, developing, secure or excellence. Students will also receive a behaviour and effort grade (1-4). The PE Department also offers an extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities for KS3 which are delivered by staff and coaches from the local area.

Curriculum Plan

We always aim to provide students with a broad and balanced curriculum where they can access a variety of sports throughout the year.

The Learning Journey

Assessment Criteria

Key stage 4

Physical Education is compulsory at all Key Stages and therefore we provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all students to participate in. Students will receive 1 hour of compulsory PE each week and are also given the option to attend extra-curricular provision on an evening. We promote local sports clubs and classes to encourage students to continue following a healthy active lifestyle beyond their time at the academy. Students are assessed in KS4 PE on their behaviour and effort using the 1-4 scale which consists of Highly Effective, Effective, Coasting and, Reluctant.

Key Stage 4 – Examination – Physical Education

The PE department offers the two examination courses at Key Stage 4: GCSE Physical Education and also V-Cert Level 2 Certificate in Health and Fitness. Both of these courses start in year 10. Examination courses allow for an additional 5 hours of PE per fortnight. However, the majority of this will be theoretical content with mixed set classes across both courses.

Curriculum Plan

We always aim to provide students with a broad and balanced curriculum where they can access a variety of sports throughout the year.

The Learning Journey

Key stage 5

The PE department offers the one examination course at Key Stage 5: A-Level OCR PE. This course involves three key areas: Physiological factors affecting performance, Psychological Factors affecting performance and also Socio-Cultural issues in physical activity. Students will also be assessed practically throughout the duration of the course and will also have to complete an EAPI (coursework) which requires students to create a development plan to improve a performer’s practical performance within a sporting context. During both Year 12 and Year 13 students will have 9 hours of teaching per fortnight.

The Learning Journey
