Physical Education

At BSAK we aim to give the students a world class offering of Physical Education. Students have two lessons per week: Lesson 1 (Physical Education - Core PE)

Development of Physical Fitness, Skills in Isolation, knowledge of Sports Science Lesson 2 (Physical Education - Core PE)- Development of Coaching, Leadership and Performance in a competitive setting.

We adopt a holistic approach to Physical Education, providing students with the knowledge and understanding that will allow them to live a healthy, active lifestyle throughout their adult life. We aim to embed many of the school values within Physical Education lessons such as resilience, integrity and endeavour.

Students will be expected to wear their blue BSAK Physical Education kit for all lessons.

COURSE CONTENT

In order to provide the students of BSAK with a wealth of experiences, we offer a varied and vast curriculum. Our aim is to enrich the lives of the students by offering them many opportunities.

Some of the Sports we offer are as follows:

● Cricket ● Rugby ● Football ● Netball ● Athletics ● Swimming

We also offer lessons that will develop the students physical prowess:

● Performing at Maximal Levels ● Outwitting Opponents ● Accurate Replication of Performance ● Exercising Safely & Effectively

ASSESSMENTS

All physical activities will be assessed and criteria shared to assist with future development. Students will be encouraged to be part of this assessment process. There will be self and peer assessment opportunities, via video analysis. Students will also have a theoretical examination during term 3 (Exam week). This will allow us to assess their knowledge of Sports Science and the theoretical concepts that underpin sporting performance. Assessment will be focused on five areas: 1. Physical Fitness 2. Core Skills in Isolation 3. Performance in a Competitive setting 4. Coaching & Leadership 5. Knowledge of Sports Science

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The aim is not just to develop sporting prowess, but to give the students a true education.

● Enhance knowledge of Sports Science ● Develop communication skills ● Improve analysis and evaluation skills ● Develop a love of learning and promote well being

The focus is to develop the students' understanding of how the theoretical concepts underpin sporting performance. This will be done through the creation of a Personalised Exercise Program.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPED

A range of skills are developed and refined with a key focus on: ● Teamwork ● Collaboration ● Communication ● Overcoming challenges ● Resilience ● Endeavour ● Tactics ● Strategies ● Students are also encouraged to analyse their performance using ICT

KIT POLICY

At BSAK we have a policy, where all students are expected to bring a kit to every lesson. If they are injured or unwell, they must have a parental note that excuses them from the practical element of the lesson. However, they must still get changed and they will develop their coaching and leadership skills.

SETTING

All lessons are mixed ability classes.
