During key stage 4, pupils tackle complex and demanding activities, applying their knowledge of skills, techniques and effective performance. They decide whether to get involved in physical activity that is mainly focused on competing or performing, on promoting health and wellbeing, or on developing personal fitness. They also decide on which roles suit them best including performer, coach, choreographer, leader and official. The view they have of their skilfulness and physical competence gives them the confidence to get involved in exercise and activity out of school and in later life.

PE is an excellent subject as it provides you with an open range of sporting activities and gives you a choice of numerous indoor and outdoor sports. In Year 10 the pupils have a choice of which activity they would like to participate in, so more people enjoy it. There is a wider range of sports to do in Year 10 such as rock climbing, canoeing, and orienteering, which are not available in lower school.
