We are all affected by our experiences of PE in school, and also the importance given to PE and sport by our school. There are several influence we should look at:- I. The National Curriculum II. Examinations in PE III. Time given to PE IV. Open enrolment V. Sports Colleges VI. A sports future for all.
Most pupils now have the opportunity to study PE at GCSE level and an increasing number can now study at A – Level standard. There are also courses that can be more vocational such as GNVQ and BTec National Diplomas. PE studies can also be taken in higher education at Degree Level and Masters Level.
By Law schools have to teach the subjects of the national curriculum. This means there is a lot of pressure to fit in all of the subjects into the school curriculum. As a result time for PE has been cut in many schools, especially primary schools. The Government advises that we have 2 hours of PE a week in school. The ‘Young People and Sport’ national survey by sport England showed that overall the number of pupils spending more than 2 hours per week fell from 46% in 1994 to 33% in 1999.
The Government has sports development officers in place which will aid in the development of sports in both schools and the surrounding area. They have also introduced PE School Sports Offices, who link together primary and secondary schools with the idea of raising standards of PE in schools. Both roles are there to provide opportunities for young people to take part in PE and sporting activities on a more regular basis.
PE has the same aims as other subjects in the school, it aims to contribute to the general education and well being of children. It does so by using physical activity during lessons, encouraging the participation in activity both during and after school. There are three major factors that influence whether or not we take part in sport.
