Key Stage 4 PE…are we up for the fight?

Walk into many Key Stage 4 PE lessons today and you will see the same picture. Students sat on the sidelines. Low engagement. Minimal challenge. And a sense that, for many, this is simply an hour to get through rather than an experience to value.

In this new world, I find myself with the luxury of travelling across the country to work in different secondary schools in a range of formats. Through this, my observations of Key Stage 4 PE have become increasingly consistent.

I am seeing more and more non-doers sitting around the edges of sports halls and 3G pitches. Too often, groups are doubled up, even when full staffing, equipment, and facilities are available. Games such as bench ball, dodgeball, round-robin football tournaments and large groups shuffling about to Just Dance videos seem to have become the norm.

Now, don't get me wrong, these types of lessons as a rare one-off are fine. Often, the engagement when these activities are rolled out as an isolated end of term treat will be through the roof but when they are used week in, week out, we have an issue.

Enjoying this so far? Continue reading on the link below 👇🏻
