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 4

During key stage 4, pupils tackle complex and demanding activities, applying their knowledge of skills, techniques and effective performance. They decide whether to get involved in physical activity that is mainly focused on competing or performing, on promoting health and wellbeing, or on developing personal fitness. They also decide on which roles suit them best including performer, coach, choreographer, leader and official. The view they have of their skilfulness and physical competence gives them the confidence to get involved in exercise and activity out of school and in later life.
During key stage 4, pupils will participate in the following activities, each activity will be taught in a 6 week block.

Year 10	Year 11
Health and Fitness – circuits Badminton Hockey Athletics Cricket Basketball	Health and Fitness – circuits Trampolining and table tennis Football Netball Rugby Weights/Aerobics
