PROGRAMME OF STUDY
Knowledge, skills and understanding
Teaching should ensure that, when evaluating and improving performance , connections are made between developing, selecting and applying skills, tactics and compositional ideas , and fitness and health . 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, promoting health and wellbeing, or developing personal fitness. They also decide on roles that suit them best including performer, coach, choreographer, leader and official. The view they have of their skillfulness and physical competence gives them the confidence to get involved in exercise and activity out of school and in later life. Note
>The general teaching requirement for health and safety applies in this subject.
