Physical Education
Welcome to the PE department at IES Nacka!
We believe that physical education is about so much more than just playing sports—it's about empowering students to lead healthy, active lives while developing key life skills. Our holistic approach is designed to help every student thrive.
We have two indoor sports halls of 600m² to use during the school days as an important part of our curriculum. Use this link to see our PE Halls 'in action'
In our practical lessons, students get to experience a broad range of activities, including ball and net sports, gymnastics, dance, swimming and outdoor pursuits like orienteering and friluftsliv. This variety gives them the chance to build a strong foundation of physical skills. We also undertake different sports days with a focus on events like athletics, orienteering, and school jogging, and dedicate time to teaching safety on the ice with Year 9 students (isvak). Just as importantly, our lessons focus on teamwork, communication, and leadership, with students regularly taking on different roles in dynamic group settings.
Our curriculum also includes essential theory, ensuring students become well-rounded individuals. In Years 7-9, we cover critical topics such as norms, physical and mental health, and injury prevention. We also provide practical, real-world training in CPR and guide students in creating their own exercise programs, giving them the tools to take charge of their own fitness.
We support student growth through consistent feedback, both during lessons and at the end of each unit. Our goal is to help every student understand their strengths and identify clear paths for further development, all based on national learning goals.
