Physical Education

Curriculum Intent

The Physical Education department is committed to providing engaging and challenging lessons inclusively for all students of all physical abilities. We want all students to feel they belong as part of a team, believe in their healthy potential and thrive physically, socially and emotionally. We offer many students the opportunity to participate in sport outside of school which promotes students’ social development as well as their independence. Students learn about fair play, how to be disciplined in times of challenge, gracious in times of defeat and to honour sportsmanship. We also want our students to feel empowered through engaging in leadership and officiating opportunities within lessons and extracurricular activities. Our overall aim is to develop students' physical health and well-being and foster long lasting healthy lifestyle choices.

Curriculum Features

We believe that our curriculum is broad, balanced and all encompassing. Our staff promote a love of sport and continually encourage students to have fun, perform and excel. We implement a number of cross-curricular links such as numeracy, literacy, biology, geography and nutrition. The department provides a wide range of physical activities (individual and team) within the curriculum, and a number of enrichment activities as part of the extra curricular provision. We have links with various community clubs at both recreational and competitive level and we support elite pathways at district, county and regional level. Our GCSE curriculum enhances students’ knowledge and provides a solid foundation for many further education pathways.
