Curriculum Aims
Physical Education is an integral part of student development in all key stages. The skills learned and activities delivered aim to develop many strands of personal character, developing the emotional, social and physical health of our students. Students will work towards improving their knowledge and understanding of various sports and physical activities whilst developing their personal sportsmanship and resilience. A wide variety of activities are taught to give students a broad range of lessons in PE. Invasion games, net games, dance, gymnastics, striking and fielding and fitness will be delivered alongside other activities which involve teamwork or physical challenge. A major objective of the PE programme will be to foster the fitness of our students, improving coordination, flexibility, cardiovascular health and strength. Beyond this, the benefits will stretch as far as improving the enjoyment and passion for life by introducing and encouraging healthy activities that can become hobbies or even lifestyles. The theory element of PE to impart students with the understanding of good diet, exercise and human anatomy is taught alongside the practical activities to lead directly into GCSE and further PE exam courses. We hope to transfer our own passion and love for sport to future generations, who may be inspired to challenge themselves physically and try many new leisure pursuits.
