Physical Education
Intent:
The purpose of the PE curriculum is to develop physical competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities. We aim to build on key skills taught in Key Stages 1 and 2, with students becoming more competent, confident and expert in their knowledge, understanding and techniques. We aim for students to develop their confidence and interest in engaging in competitive sports and lead healthy, active lives in and out of school and in later life. Our core principles which drive all our staff are to engage, develop and be active.
Physical Education is an integral part of the curriculum and research proves that schools who provide a strong PE curriculum often achieve higher grades in other academic subjects. Cross-curricular links to Mathematics and English are embedded within the PE curriculum and additional life skills such as team work, communication skills and expressing creativity are vital to being successful in Physical Education.
The Core PE curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
- Are physically active for sustained periods of time
- Engage in competitive sports and activities
- Lead healthy, active lives and encourage them into lifelong physical activity.
- Develop holistically, focussing on their character, performance and cognitive abilities.
- Are driven and encouraged to always want to improve.
- Become reliable and effective citizens when they leave school.
