Physical Education (PE)

Curriculum INTENT

Our intent is to provide all pupils with the opportunity to learn and enhance specific skills through an inclusive, broad and balanced curriculum. To offer diverse opportunities for students to develop physical competences which promote and encourage competition, instil teamwork and develop character. We aim to create a culture which inspires physical and mental well-being through a healthy active lifestyle. Our vision is for our students to remain positively engaged in physical activity throughout their life as a result of the understanding, confidence, experiences and passion that has been nurtured at Wright Robinson College.

BTEC SPORT

 

BTEC Tech Award in Sport

 

Students who select the BTEC Tech Award in Sport will have the opportunity to develop sector-specific applied knowledge and skills through realistic vocational contexts. They will explore the different types and providers of sport and physical activity, as well as the equipment and technology available. Building on this, they will look at individuals’ differing needs, to gain an understanding of how to increase participation in sport while further developing their knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology in a contextualised way. They will then apply their knowledge and skills to planning and delivering sports activity sessions for participants in practical sessions.

In addition, this qualification enables students to develop sector-specific skills such as sport analysis and sports leadership, and personal skills such as communication, planning, time management and teamwork, through a practical and skills-based approach to learning and assessment. This qualification has been developed in close consultation with focus groups, current practitioners and employers to ensure that all of the key skills and areas of knowledge required for students to work effectively in the sports industry are incorporated into both the content and the assessment process. The internally assessed components are task-based and in parts practical, allowing students to demonstrate their skills and ability – and their understanding of the theoretical content – in a way that suits them.

 

Components which are covered:

 

Component 1: Preparing Participants to Take Part in Sport and Physical Activity

Students will explore the different types and provision of sport and physical activity available for different types of participants, barriers to participation and ways to overcome these barriers to increase participation in sport and physical activity. They will also research equipment and technological advances in a chosen sport or physical activity and how to prepare our bodies for participation in sport and physical activity.

 

Component 2: Taking Part and Improving Other Participants Sporting Performance

Students will investigate the components of fitness and their effect on performance, take part in practical sport, explore the role of officials in sport and learn to apply methods and sporting drills to improve other participants’ sporting performance.

 

Component 3: Developing Fitness to Improve Other Participants’ Performance in Sport and Physical Activity

Students will be introduced to and develop an understanding of the importance of fitness and the different types of fitness for performance in sport and physical activity. They will also develop an understanding of the body and fitness testing.
