Course Specification
The main purpose of this Course is to develop and demonstrate a broad and comprehensive range of complex skills in challenging contexts. Learners will
develop the ability to use strategies to make appropriate decisions for effective performance. They will also analyse a performance, looking specifically at the impact
of mental, emotional, social and physical factors, understand what is required to develop it and then apply this knowledge to their own performance.
By actively participating in physical activities, learners will demonstrate initiative, decision-making and problem-solving. They will experience a range of roles and responsibilities, and this will enable them to develop their interpersonal skills. The course also provides an opportunity to support the way that individual attitudes, values and behaviours are formed as Physical Education contributes to social, mental and emotional development.
