    Students in KS3 will be taught a range of activities across the year that will develop a platform for choice at in year 9/10:

    • Rugby, Football, Hockey, Netball, Basketball, Gealic Football, Badminton, Tennis, Cricket, Rounders and Softball:
    • use a range of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in direct competition through team and individual games

    Rugby, Football, Hockey, Netball, Basketball, Gealic Football, Badminton, Tennis, Cricket, Rounders and Softball:

    • use a range of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in direct competition through team and individual games
    • analyse their performances compared to previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best
    • take part in competitive sports and activities outside school through community links or sports clubs

    Gymnastics, Parkour, Athletics:

    • develop their technique and improve their performance in other competitive sports.
    • analyse their performances compared to previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best
