Quality British Education in Saudi Arabia
Physical Education in Key Stages 3 & 4
Our aim for all of our pupils is to gain a life long enjoyment of sport and the knowledge needed to continue participation after they leave the school.
Key stage 3
During key stage 3, pupils become more expert in their skills and techniques, and learn how to apply them in different activities. They start to understand what makes an effective performance and how to apply these principles to their own and others' work. They learn to take the initiative and make decisions for themselves about what to do to improve performance. They start to identify the types of activity they prefer, and take a variety of roles, such as leader and official.
The programme of study identifies four areas of activity:
- dance activities – dance units based on street dance.
- games activities – hockey, football, basketball, cricket (girls will also partake in netball and boys in tag rugby)
- gymnastic activities – gymnastics and trampolining
- athletic activities – track and field athletics
