Key Stage 4
Duration - 2 hours
per week.
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 well-being, or developing personal fitness. They also
decide on roles that suite them best including performer, coach,
choreographer, leader and official. The view they have of their
skilfulness and physical competence gives them the confidence to get
involved in exercise and activity out of school and in later life.
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
as detailed below.
1) Acquiring and developing skills.
2) Selecting and applying skills, tactics and composition
ideas.
3) Evaluating and improving performance.
4) Knowledge and understanding of fitness and health.
The breadth of study includes dance activities.
