Physical Education
At Crosby High School we believe that physical education experienced in a safe and supportive environment is a vital and unique contributor to a pupils physical development and well being. The emphasis is on creating a stress free and supportive learning environment, which encourages maximum participation and is sympathetic to pupil's physical, mental and emotional needs.
KS3
During Key Stage 3 pupils are taught in their tutor groups. Over the Key Stage, pupils become more expert in their skills and techniques and learn how to apply these skills in a range of different sporting activities. Pupils learn to take the initiative and make decisions for themselves about what to do to improve performance throughout physical activity. Pupils start to identify the types of activity they prefer and they may take a variety of roles, such as leader and official.
