Key Stage 4 Core PE Physical Education is a compulsory part of the curriculum until students leave us at the end of Year 11. However, engaging in a fit and active lifestyle continues to be important beyond your child’s school years. Therefore, PCS is developing a programme that students can opt into based on their own individual involvement in fitness and sport and how they see this involvement continuing into their adulthood. Students will need to consider the following three statements and decide which most suits their motivation towards PE. Competing & Performing – To perform in sport, challenge or dance type activities to reach as high a level of performance as possible. Promoting health & well being – To take part in a variety of physical activities for physical and social satisfaction, health and growth. Developing personal fitness – To take part in physical fitness activities to improve body image and self-esteem. JSLA – Junior Sports Leaders Award - A national qualification in leadership and coaching. We will be seeking the views of students regarding the types of activities they would be keen to pursue within these programmes via the Sports Council next term. Some activities will inevitably incur a small charge for use of other facilities or qualified coaches and we would like your views regarding this. Obviously, there will always be a range of activities available on site that do not incur a cost of any sort. Please would you complete the attached slip and return it to the school office as soon as possible. The more replies we receive the easier it will be for us to reach a decision that reflects your views. Childs Name:……………………………………………………………...
