PE Key Stage 4
Pupils who opt for option block PE will undertake a period of baseline assessments to ensure they go down the right route for them and their strengths. After this, it will be a GCSE pathway or the OCR Cambridge National. Both courses have a practical element with pupils having to showcase their practical ability in both a team and an individual sport as well as coursework elements and exam content covering Sport and the Media, the Body in Action, Physical Training and many more.
Those pupils that don’t opt for option block PE will still have core PE and game. This is one hour of practical PE a week where the focus is on game play and mental well being.

| Rob Burrow: Too many reasons to live | Rob Burrow is one of the greatest rugby league players of all time. And the most inspirational. As a boy, Rob was told he was too small to play the sport. Even when he made his debut for Leeds Rhinos, people wrote him off as a novelty. But Rob never stopped proving people wrong. During his time at Leeds, for whom he played almost 500 games, he won eight Super League Grand Finals, two Challenge Cups and three World Club Challenges. He also played for his country in two World Cups. In December 2019, Rob was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, a rare degenerative condition, and given a couple of years to live. He was only 37, not long retired and had three young children. When he went public with the devastating news, the outpouring of affection and support was extraordinary. When it became clear that Rob was going to fight it all the way, sympathy turned to awe | |
