Core PE
Curriculum Intent
The Education Links PE curriculum provides students with regular opportunities to develop physical competence, knowledge, teamwork, confidence, resilience and healthy lifestyle habits.
The curriculum is designed for a small-school environment and therefore uses small-sided, adaptable activities that can be delivered with limited space and resources.
Learning is sequenced across the year so that students learn, practice, apply, revisit and refine skills. Students progress from basic physical skills towards applying those skills independently in games and competitive situations.
Curriculum progression
Learn → Practise → Apply → Make decisions → Compete → Evaluate
Students are assessed against four broad levels:
| LEVEL | SKILLS | KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING |
| Emerging | Performs basic skills with support; participates safely. | Recognises basic rules, equipment and key techniques. |
| Developing | Performs skills with increasing control and applies them in simple activities. | Explains basic rules, techniques and simple tactics. |
| Secure | Consistently applies skills in games and makes appropriate decisions. | Explains tactics, rules and how skills can be improved. |
| Advanced | Performs confidently under pressure, adapts skills and supports others. | Applies tactical knowledge independently and evaluates performance. |
