Physical education Programme of Study

Purpose of study

A high-quality physical education curriculum which inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

Physical education Programme of Study

Aims: The national curriculum for physical education

aims to ensure that all pupils: • develop competence to excel in a broad

range of physical activities • are physically active for sustained periods

of time • engage in competitive sports and activities • lead healthy, active lives.

Assessing without Levels• Re-emphasise the learning function of

assessment and develop your assessment for learning

• De-emphasise the grading function of assessment

• Be clear about the purpose and aims of physical education and ensure assessment is matched to this

• Concentrate on making sure pupils reach the expected standard rather than labelling differential performance


Ways of Looking at Assessment Head – Heart – Hands

The thinking physical being:Decision makerAnalytical – deep understandingConfident

The doing physical being:Physically competentGrowth and developmentPhysically ActiveCompetitive

The behavioural change physical being:Involvement and engagementSocial and emotional Character, valuesHealthy active lifestyle

ProgressionNational Expectations

ELG – good control/co-ordination/confident/co-operative

KS1 – increasingly competent/confident/competitive

KS2 – continue to apply/develop/link/communicate/compete and understand

KS3 – build on and embed physical development/more competent/confident/expert

KS4 – tackle complex/demanding activities

Key Stage One

Pupils should develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and co-ordination, individually and with others.They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self and against others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations

Programme of StudyKey Stage One

Pupils should be taught to:•Master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities•Participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending•Perform dances using simple movement patterns

Key Stage Two

Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement.They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other.They should develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success

Programme of Study Key Stage Two

Pupils should be taught to:•Use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination•Play competitive games, modified where appropriate and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending•Develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance•Perform dances using a range of movement patterns•Take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team•Compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best•Be able to swim competently and proficiently for at least 25 metres

Key Stage Three

Pupils should build on and embed the physical development and skills learnt in Key Stage 1 & 2, become more competent, confident and expert in their techniques, and apply them across different sports and physical activities.They should understand what makes a performance effective and how to apply these principles to their own and others’ work.They should develop the confidence and interest to get involved in exercise, sports and activities out of school and in later life, and understand and apply the long-term health benefits of physical activity.
