The NCPE 2007 saw the ideological ideas that PE was to be completely child centred with reduced pressure upon competition. Meeting numerous targets with regards holistic development of every child and assessing regularly with attainment targets.   The document itself was a large document for each key stage with numerous aims and sub aims for each section, "weighing teachers down and squeezing out room for innovation, creativity, deep learning and intellectual exploration" (White Paper, 2010).

 

The KS4 curriculum is subdivided into 4 areas, Key concepts, key processes, range and content, and curriculum opportunities (NCPE, 2007). With intended outcomes to include a varied range of roles accessed by pupils along with the use of ICT to be used as part of the PE programme (NCPE, 2007). Pupils were expected to be competent across many areas at KS4.

 

There was a large emphasis on teamwork, leadership and evaluation. All are essential within the curriculum and are still present in current policy, although it showed little attention to competetive team or individual situiations - therefor allowing many children to never fully experience winning, loosing and trying trier best to acheive the best they can. With varied choice for the students it may be argued that the NCPE 2007 was too lengthy and therefor vague and lacking structure.
