Physical Education

Intent

The aim of the PE Curriculum is to create a broad and balanced curriculum that offers all students the opportunity to develop physically and mentally to improve health and wellbeing in a fun and engaging manner.

The student’s journey will encourage participation, skill development, knowledge enhancement, challenge and engage students leading to lifelong participation in sport, exercise and fitness.

Key Stage 3

Year 7/8

The focus in lesson (6-8 lessons per activity) will be based on building transferable knowledge and skills, physical and social, challenging students to work hard and engage in fun active sessions.

Extra-curricular activities offer a chance to develop further understanding and skill acquisition, competitive opportunities in interschool events and entry into the ‘talented performer’ routes for many sports.

Year 9

This program offers students a chance to refine and enhance performance in activities previously visited, progressing understanding and application of strategy as a performer, coach, official and all-round leadership skills.

Extra-curricular activities continue to provide fun, competitive opportunities with entry into Area, County and Club events.
