Assessment:

• All students will be assessed for their attainment at the end of KS3 (Summer Term Y9) against the National Curriculum attainment targets for Physical Education

Parental Contribution:

• Ensuring that all students are provided with the correct kit, and that they bring it to every lesson.
• It would also be helpful if parents are not too 'soft' on their children, in providing notes when they might otherwise take part in lessons with some adaptation of activity or time involvement. Naturally, the Department is sympathetic to the effects of illness or injury but are anxious to involve students where possible (for example, a minor hand injury might preclude Netball or Rugby, but running or some other skills remain possible).
• Useful resources and equipment:
• Please see the published list of PE and Games kit
