Physical Education

P.E. at Nendrum College 

 

Time allocation per week at KS3: 2hours 20 mins

Here at Nendrum College we as a Department seek to provide a broad and balanced programme of study which encompasses all aspects of the development of the pupil (emotionally, intellectually, ethnically, physically and creatively). We as a staff are enthusiastic in our approach and committed to making the pupils experience in PE both a positive and enjoyable one. Positive learning experiences will promote social and interpersonal skills, qualities and attitudes.

Aims of Physical Education

 

  • To develop the growth and physical attributes of each pupil according to their potential.  
  • To develop the psychomotor ability of each pupil according to their potential.
  • To aid the personal and social development of the pupils.
  • To develop knowledge and understanding of the safety factors, principles, history, rules, terminology, mechanical principles and tactics in a range of physical activities.
  • To develop the ability to assess performance in physical activities and to become aware of the strength and limitations of oneself and others.
  • To promote the positive use of leisure time and encourage participation in games and physical activities as a means of recreation.
