The National Curriculum states that “pupils should tackle complex and demanding physical activities. They should get involved in a range of activities that develops personal fitness and promotes an active, healthy lifestyle”
At Sir John Hunt our aims are for students to:
• use and develop a variety of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in team and individual games
• develop their technique and improve their performance in other competitive sports or other physical activities
• take part in further outdoor and adventurous activities, in a range of environments which present intellectual and physical challenges and which encourage students to work in a team, building on trust and developing skills to solve problems, either individually or as a group
• evaluate their performances, compared to previous ones and demonstrate improvement across a range of physical activities to achieve their personal best
• continue to take part regularly in competitive sports and activities outside school, through community links or sports clubs
At Key stage 4, as well as 100 minutes of practical PE, students can choose to take a Cambridge National in Sport Studies

Within the Sports Studies qualification, students will develop their own performance and how to effectively lead others, as well as gain knowledge about the national sports context. The qualification has two mandatory units and a choice of optional units. The externally assessed unit contributes 25% of the marks for the Certificate level qualification.
The units followed are:
R051: Contemporary issues in sport
Students explore a range of topical and contemporary issues in sport, such as participation levels and barriers, promoting values and ethical behaviour, and how sport contributes to society as a whole, beyond simply providing entertainment.
R052: Developing sports skills
Students try out a range of sports related skills and techniques, including different practice methods for improving both their own performance and that of others. They develop their knowledge of the use of tactics and strategies in both individual and team sporting activities, as well as their understanding of the rules, enabling them to carry out a number of officiating roles within the activities.
R053: Sports leadership
Students learn about some of the knowledge, understanding and practical skills required to be an effective sport leader. They put their knowledge into practice by planning and delivering safe and effective sporting activity sessions. Afterwards, they review their performance.
R054: Sport and the media
Students explore the relationship between sport and the media: how sport uses the media to promote itself and how the media uses sport to expand and maintain uptake of its products. They look at the differences in sports coverage across a range of media outlets and over time and the effect that media has had on public interest and involvement in sport.
Assessment:
Assessment in Sports Studies is based on three units internally assessed and one external exam. There is a progress tracker which enables teachers to know which Learning Objectives to re-visit to enable students to make good progress. Teachers can identify gaps in students’ learning and, through effective feedback, students can resolve misconceptions and swiftly develop further knowledge and skills.
Year 9
• Assessments take place at three points throughout the academic year on a 12-week cycle.
• At the end of each Learning Objective, students complete an assessed exam and marks are placed on the tracker
• Students are assessed in Anatomy and Physiology, Media in sport, Contemporary issues in sport and Major Sporting Events
Year 10
• Assessments take place at three points throughout the academic year on a 12-week cycle
• At the end of each Learning objective, students complete an assessed piece of work which is marked as per the exam board guidance and marks are placed on the tracker
• Students are assessed in the “Leadership” unit and the "Media in sport" unit
Year 11
• Students sit two mock exams before entering their first opportunity to sit the actual exam in the January series. There is a second opportunity to sit the exam in the June series.
Additional support
• Session 0 – High impact students work on a rotation and have additional hours of Sports Studies with a specialist. In these sessions, students use walking talking mocks and Personal Learning Checklists to address gaps in their knowledge.
• Period 7 – students complete a Period 7 lesson in Sports Studies on a rotation with other option subjects, focusing on exam technique, covering topics from the previous weeks’ learning.
