Youth Sport Trust: Core subjects

Youth Sport Trust

Core subjects

Science lesson Core subjects are those that are studied by all, or a majority, of young people. The skills, knowledge and qualifications that they develop are hugely important, which is why it is essential that core subjects are as strong as they can be.

Typically schools that have a high performing Sport specialism will draw from the skills and pedagogy used in the delivery of PE to support the core subjects. These can be grouped around four themes:

Using the motivational and relevant context of sport and physical education
Using the positive personal values developed in sport
Using the generic skills developed in sport and high quality physical education
Using the successful pedagogies that characterise high quality physical education
