Subject: Physical Education
Introduction to subject
PE plays an important role in the life of Oasis Academy:MediacityUK. Our dedicated team ensures that
there are opportunities for everyone to gain an understanding of the importance of leading an active and
healthy lifestyle and more importantly to find an enjoyable way in which to do so. Our objective is to provide
students with enjoyable experiences that will motivate them to engage in activities that they enjoy not only
during their time at the Academy but most importantly for the rest of their lives.
Key stage 3 overview
At Key Stage 3 students build on the knowledge, skills and understanding students have acquired at Key
Stage 2 and is designed to engage students in a fun process to make them aware of the potential in the
subject. This is achieved through a range of games, gymnastic, athletic, fitness, adventurous and dance
activities students learn to work independently and as part of a team. Students develop their range and
quality of their physical skills through these various activities. Students are taught to identify their strengths
and weaknesses and their likes and dislikes in terms of sports and physical activity so that they can make
more informed choices about what they would like to participate in at Key Stage 4.
The curriculum will focus on developing a platform of choice for KS4. All students have two one hour
lessons per week and are taught in single sex, similar ability groups. Each half term they participate in two
different activities from the list below.
BOYS ACTIVITIES:
Football, rugby, basketball, badminton, hockey, athletics, trampolining, fitness, softball, gymnastics,
volleyball, cricket, problem solving, sports acro.
GIRLS ACTIVITIES:
Football, netball, basketball, badminton, hockey, athletics, trampolining, fitness, rounders, aerobics,
volleyball, cricket, gymnastics, problem solving, sports acro.
All the activities are themed into outwitting opponents through team games, exploring and communicating
ideas, concepts and emotions through performance, performing at maximum levels through athletics and
exercising safely and effectively through fitness.
Key stage 4 overview
Learning at Key Stage 4 is more student led. Although we continue to work on developing student’s
competence in skills, techniques and understanding of health and fitness, they now begin to make choices
about the nature of the activities they want to participate in. The pathways available are themed (games,
aesthetics, fitness, Leadership) and are designed to help students find appropriate exit routes into
community activities that they can follow outside of school. Students can participate either as a performer,
official or as a leader.
Students also have the opportunity to take qualifications in PE if they so desire. At KS4 they study the AQA
GCSE Sport Studies qualification. This syllabus provides a balance of both theory and practical work.
Within the practical course students have the opportunity to use sports where they have an exceptional
strength in as a performer, leader and official.
The course divides itself into three areas:
• Unit 1 Theoretical – Human anatomy, Sport in Society, Sponsorship, Health and Fitness
• Unit 2 Practical Sports – Students have the opportunity to be assessed in over 50 different sports
• Unit 3 Controlled Assessment – Evaluating strengths and weaknesses within own and others
performance.
Students take all their exams for this subject at the end of year 11 both a written paper and a practical
exam.
