Maintaining High Standards in Physical Education

 

Be ready for lessons and get changed in the correct PE kit quickly.

 

All items of PE kit should be named.

 

The school cannot be held responsible for lost items; although we always do our best to return named kit that has been handed in or we take items to the lost property area.

 

Correct kit is to be worn for lessons.

 

Coloured t-shirts are not to be worn to normal lessons - white t-shirts only.

 

For hygiene reasons, do not wear your tights or school top during lessons.

 

Hair should be tied back, off the face to stop your vision being obstructed.

 

Any equipment or kit that has been borrowed should be treated with respect and returned at the end of the lesson to the correct place.

 

Appropriate sports shoes should be worn and must be fastened securely.

 

All jewellery needs to be removed.

 

Earrings should be removed and it is therefore not appropriate to get ears pierced during term time. If ears are pierced then they should be covered by suitable tape.

 

If a pupil needs to be excused from a lesson then a note must be provided from a parents/guardian.

 

Even if a note is provided, in the majority of circumstances, the pupil will be expected to join in with the lesson in the capacity of a coach, official or critical friend; providing peer assessment.

 

Non Participants

 

Pupils should continue to attend the PE lesson unless there is a suitable reason and this is in writing. The pupil maybe unable to participate practically in the lesson but this does not mean that they are unable to take an active part in the learning experience.

 

According to the reason for non participation the pupils should:

Act as a coach/leader for a group.

Provide peer assessment (Being a critical friend).

Complete a worksheet on the lesson (Pre-prepared and includes LG and SC).

Act as an official.

Create questions to ask the group to assess other pupil's knowledge.

 

A non-participant should never be sat down away from the rest of the class; they should always be involved in the lesson and should come to the teacher with the rest of the group to listen and observe the learning.
