PE – Reporting and Assessment

Our reporting system follows our carefully designed curriculum throughout the Broad General Education phase. Our curriculum outline can be found here.

Information on PE benchmarks we follow can be found here.

What the Letters and numbers mean:

S1 Reporting and assessment

In S1 we track and monitor pupils from August to May through 5 activity blocks covering 4 significant aspects of learning (each with individual strands). The activity blocks we report on are Invasion/team games, Creative/Aesthetic, Net Racket sports, Fitness and Indoor team games. At the time of writing S1 reports we will not have covered summer games or Athletics, as we cover these after the reporting date.

We would expect pupils in S1 to be working at level 2 and towards level 3 (by the end of S3).

S2 Reporting and assessment

In S2 we report from the final 2 blocks in S1 and the first 3 blocks in S2 to allow us to track 4 Significant Aspects of Learning (each with individual strands).

We would expect pupils in S2 to be working at level 2 and towards level 3 (by the end of S3) with some pupils having achieved level 3 and working towards level 4 outcomes.

S3 Reporting and assessment

In S3 we follow a slightly different method of covering our Significant Aspects of Learning through a choice block every 6 weeks. We will report on elements covered in S2 to provide a detailed report which will inform us (and you) of potential future options.

We would expect pupils in S3 to be working at level 2 and towards level 3 (by the end of S3) with some pupils having achieved level 3 and working towards level 4 outcomes.
