The Higher PE course is split into 2 units:

Performance = 40%

Analysis and Development of Performance = 60%

Pupils participate in three activities: badminton / trampolining, basketball and football / netball.

Analysis and development of performance looks at these ways of improving performance:

Skills and techniques                 – Badminton / Trampolining

Preparation of the body            – Football / Netball

Structures and strategies         – Basketball

(formations and tactics)

Pupils have a log book which must be completed before the end of March. Pupils need to pass this to complete the course.

Pupils with excellent performance in an activity can be awarded a unit pass at a level higher than the course they are following e.g. a higher pupil who excels in badminton could gain a performance unit at advanced higher level. The grade awarded at each level is marked out of 20.

Homework

Homework will be issued regularly, with a fair amount aimed towards the completion of NABs.  Past paper questions will also be set for pupils.
