Curriculum for Excellence: Health and Wellbeing
MILESTONES
Physical Education, Physical Activity
and Sport
1
Physical Education, Physical Activity & Sport.
Learners develop an understanding of how to build physical competences, improve aspects of fitness, and develop personal and
interpersonal skills and attributes. It enables learners to develop the concepts and skills necessary for participation in a wide range
of physical activity, sport, dance and outdoor learning, and enhances their physical wellbeing in preparation for leading a fulfilling,
active and healthy lifestyle.
.
Progression and development in many aspects of health and wellbeing will depend upon the stage of growth, development and
maturity of the individual, upon social issues and upon the community context. From the early years through to the senior stages,
children’s and young people’s progress will be seen in how well they are developing and applying their knowledge, understanding and
skills in, for example, key features of healthy living and relationships and in approaches to personal planning, assessing risk and
decision making.
The milestones are simply a tool for teachers to provide guidance and support to encourage an informed assessment of children’s
knowledge, skills and understanding applied throughout the session and for formal reporting.
The milestones provide examples of the differentiation between Developing, Consolidating and Secure for each experience and
outcome, they are not a prescriptive list to be used in any particular order e.g. when a teacher plans their HWB lessons for their class
the milestones can then be used to assess the range of skills applied by the children for that lesson in comparison to the examples
provided in the milestones.
Assessment in health and wellbeing should also link with other areas of the curriculum, within and beyond the classroom, offering
children and young people opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills in more complex, demanding or unfamiliar learning or
social contexts.
