PE AT KS3

During key stage 3, pupils become more expert in their skills and techniques, learning how to apply them in different activities. They will discover what makes an effective performance and how to apply these principles to their own and others' work. They learn to take the initiative and make decisions for themselves about what to do to improve performance. They start to identify the types of activity they prefer, and take a variety of roles, such as leader and official.

The programme of study at Elliott include:

• dance activities;
• games activities;
• gymnastic activities;
• swimming activities;
• athletic activities.
