P.E and Sport

The teaching of Physical Education is concerned with enabling every pupil to become independently active, to provide them with the background, skills and motivation to opt into physical activity as a lifestyle habit.

This involves a progression from being teacher-dependent for participation and organisation to assuming responsibility for the preparation, carrying out and reviewing their own programmes of activity.

The programme at COBS PRU is designed to introduce the pupils to a variety of popular minor and major sports while also giving them an awareness of movement and co-ordination in both individual and team games.

All students who remain at COBS PRU for Year 11 will have the opportunity to leave the school with a Level 2 GCSE PE qualification, should they select PE as an Option.

The PE Department's aim is to give students who attend COBS a varied yet balanced curriculum. It is hoped that those attending for a short time will experience lessons that are not too dissimilar to those that they have encountered in mainstream.

The students who are more long-term should therefore have access to a curriculum that is as practical as a mainstream one in terms of activity. This is in the hope that they may return to a more mainstream environment and be at a similar level to that of their peers. Those students who remain and choose GCSE PE at Key Stage 4 should also have a good grounding in a number of sports that will enable them to access the practical element of the course without being disadvantaged.

Lessons delivered using a structured but not prescribed curriculum. Taking into account campus facilities, access to local facilities, & student voice.

5 times a year WAG data will be collected and teachers will use ME in PE to grade core lessons at both KS3 and KS4
