How is Physical Education assessed?
- Children are assessed at the end of each sporting activity. Assessment is made on their practical ability and their knowledge and understanding of the activity to include rules, tactics and technique points of skills.
- Children are grouped on ability so they feel comfortable in their PE lessons. This is a flexible system and if children feel they have been placed in the wrong group, changes can be made.
How can I help my child?
- Encourage children to attend extracurricular sporting activities at school
- Where possible and interest lies join a sports club outside of school too
