Curriculum Vision

“Evidence shows that when high quality PE and sport is delivered in schools it aids and enhances the learning of scholars across all subjects, it can improve school ethos and scholars’ sense of belonging, and raises aspirations for young people to achieve their personal best.”

 

The Physical Education Department supports scholars in fulfilling their potential through playing, leading, and officiating in sport. Our aim is to find a role for all scholars to achieve within PE and School Sport.

 

The department has experienced, committed, and motivated teaching staff who challenge themselves every day to provide the most effective teaching and learning environment possible. We strive to provide a wide range of opportunities for all scholars both within the curriculum and outside of lessons to support their holistic development.

 

Physical Education Staff

· Curriculum Leader and Academy Quality Nominee – Mr S McClune

· Teacher of PE/Head of KS3 – Mr J Gittins

· Teacher of PE – Miss L Geldart

 

The Physical Education Department has superb facilities including a Sports Hall, Gymnasium, Fitness suite, Dance studio, MUGA, State of the art 4G facility alongside grass football pitches. The department also has access to sport specific classrooms including computer rooms. Each classroom has a large interactive smart display board.

 

Key Stage 3 – Intent

Scholars build on and embed the physical development and physical components learnt in key stages 1 and 2, become more competent, confident, and expert in their techniques, and apply them across different sports and physical activities.

 

Stage 1 – Isolation Components – Stabilise and Repair Skills in Sport

Stage 2 – Conditioned Practices – Repair and Improve different skills in Sport

Stage 3 – Competitive situations – Improve and Sustain skills in sport

Stage 4 – Leadership and Officiating

 

They will understand what makes a performance effective and how to apply these principles to their own and others’ work. Scholars develop the confidence and interest to get involved in exercise, sports and activities out of school and in later life and understand and apply the long-term health benefits of physical activity.

 

Scholars will be taught to:

 

use a range of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in direct competition through team and individual games

develop their technique and improve their performance in other competitive sports

perform dances using advanced dance techniques within a range of dance styles and forms

take part in outdoor and adventurous activities which present intellectual and physical challenges and be encouraged to work in a team, building on trust and developing skills to solve problems, either individually or as a group

analyse their performances compared to previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best

take part in competitive sports and activities outside school through community links or sports clubs. (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/239086/SECONDARY_national_curriculum_-_Physical_education.pdf)

 

Implementation

KS3 allows scholars to develop knowledge and understanding related to practical performance in a range of sports whilst underpinning their performance with theoretical content to support development. In lessons Scholar will be taught skills, techniques and tactics in isolation, conditioned practices, and competitive situations. This will allow for all scholars to demonstrate a range of techniques such as deliberate practice, modelling and show call.

 

Scholars will have access to a wide range of sports across the different strands identified in the National Curriculum, we do not specify sports through gender and are inclusive to all scholars accessing our curriculum, the sequencing of sports is dependent on timing of the year and availability of sports facilities, ensuring that every Scholar has fair access to all sports is paramount when planning our curriculum.

 

Scholars in KS3 will be assessed theoretically and practically in all aspects of the PE curriculum using an effective and efficient practical assessment tracker, scholars in KS3 will also be able to demonstrate the progress they have made through our theoretical assessments that occur twice a year through the use of their knowledge organisers and homework booklets.

 

Curriculum maps have been designed and are shared with scholars at the start of every year, these are also shared on our school website to improve communication and inform parents/carers and guardians of their child/dependent’s educational pathway.

 

Key Stage 4 Qualification

Scholars opt in to achieve a qualification in PE alongside completing 1 hour of enrichment PE per week. Scholars can opt into one of two sporting qualifications including BTEC Tech award in Sport and BTEC Tech Award in Health and Social Care.

 

Intent – Scholars who study BTEC Tech Award in Sport will develop their knowledge and understanding completing components relating to preparing participants to take part in sport and physical activity, taking part and improving other participants sporting performance and developing fitness to improve other participants performance in sport and physical activity.

reflect this. Scholars will be observed in all aspects of the PE curriculum and provided personal verbal feedback to ensure support and guidance is provided.
