Key stage 3
You will take part in at least seven activities throughout the year. You will be assessed on how well you can apply the skills of that activity to competitive situations. You will receive a score/level for each activity you do, with your best three scores counting towards your overall PE attainment level. You will also be given a ‘BfL’ level in each activity in which we look at how you conduct yourself in your PE lessons e.g. attitude, organisation of kit, working with others etc.
Key stage 4
During you ‘Core’ PE lessons, you will not be assessed on your performance of the activity you have chosen to take part in. You will however receive a ‘BfL’ score, the same as in key stage three, assessing your attitude towards your PE lessons.
