KS3 & KS4 physical education curriculum

Pupils will already have explored basic skills of batting and running to score as well as bowling and fielding to deny scoring opportunities through an introduction to rounders and cricket. Pupils will now refine these skills to improve accuracy and become increasingly aware of the impact of misfielding. Later in striking and fielding games pupils will apply principles to cricket and learn to compete and to analyse performance to suggest ways to improve.
