kS3 Physical Education

The Physical Education curriculum at SIH allows learners to develop skills through a wide variety of age-appropriate physical activities, including games, team sports, gymnastics and dance. Through these activities they develop their creative thinking in different physical activities by applying their existing skills to less familiar contexts. Learners practise important social skills such as taking turns, sharing space and equipment, cooperating with others and developing risk management skills. Learners develop their individual responsibility for moving and using equipment and space safely. Learners develop their skills and understanding of leadership, collaboration and fair play through a range of team and group activities. They use these skills to help others to participate and achieve, sometimes leading and sometimes following others.
