Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Davies.
In Year 13 Physical Education, students will demonstrate their understanding of, and practical physical skill in activities, through study involving: risk management in the outdoors, sports sociology, biophysical analysis and training to improve performance. Emphasis is placed on being able to work autonomously and students will be required to analyse comprehensively, as well as think critically, in order to be successful.

This is a practical subject with high expectations for full involvement in all aspects. A written element is required to support your learning.
