Curriculum Information

The module will have a subject specific focus on Physical Education, Health and Wellbeing and introduce students to the National Curriculum across the following subject areas - Physical Literacy, Physical Activity, Healthy Eating, Physical and Emotional well-being as part of the Physical Education curriculum in schools. The module will explore the skills that students will need to acquire in order to transfer these to school pupils. The issues around transition will be considered as pupils move from the primary to the secondary phase of their education where the teaching approach and pedagogy changes. The module will combine the subject specific knowledge needed to deliver Physical Education, Health and Wellbeing across all key stages and introduce students to Health and Wellbeing and the critical areas that underpin and complement this curriculum area. It will provide students with a grounding of professional and academic theory in a range of areas and allow them to apply it both to their own and cross-curricular areas. Topics studied will reflect the curriculum content at the time of study and identify opportunities where Health and Wellbeing plays a critical and integrated role in our lives. Although the module content will upskill the students’ aptitude and knowledge of Physical Education, Health and Wellbeing, the intention is to get the student to think and act like a Physical Education teacher, reflect on their practice and actively look for ways to embed Physical Education, Health and Wellbeing across the entire AOLE of Health and Wellbeing. This module includes mandatory formative assessment activities, to support students learning and development prior to summative assessment tasks
