When pupils enter the Senior Phase they have Core Physical Education timetabled for one double period a week in S4 and a single period a week in S5 and S6. A major focus of Core Physical Education in the Senior Phase at Hillhead High School is personalisation and choice and the development of pupil responsibility.
In S4 pupils are presented with negotiable choice lists and opt into the pathway they wish to follow for the year. An example list that might be presented to pupils is as follows:
- Table Tennis
- Football
- Tumble
- Fitness
- Dodgeball
The double period allocated to S4 Core Physical Education means that, when appropriate, pupils may travel out of school to make use of one of our external facility providers.
In S5 and S6 pupils have a similar element of choice, making full use of our in-school facilities due to the single period allocation. Typical options include badminton, basketball, fitness suite and dodgeball.
