Assessment in Physical Education (PE)

In PE, your child will experience a variety of sports and activities throughout key stage three, in the hope that they find an activity they can continue beyond their education.

Within each activity, we cover a range of skills and attributes to allow all students to gain success in more than just the physical aspects of the sport.

Assessment is now focused on three areas, and these areas progress each year. Please find details of this new assessment and grading system below.
