What will be studied?

How will they be assessed?

Students will all receive a half-termly progress tracker. This tracker will indicate their progress in PE at that point in the year following the schools assessment policies.

It will also indicate a target for improvement that all students will aim to focus on in their future lessons. Students will have time within lessons to review their targets for improvements and ask any questions about how to achieve these.

What support will be needed?

• Encourage students to attend extra-curricular clubs
• Ensure the correct kit for all lessons
