Physical Education
Curriculum Intent - PE:
Our students are at the centre of all that we do, and their health, happiness and well-being are our priority.
We believe that all students should have equal opportunities in their Physical Education experience as well as the chance to follow a pathway that is inclusive and relevant to their needs. We strive to engage all students in a meaningful PE experience and ensure that they understand the many benefits of being active to their overall well-being. We aim to develop motivated, physically competent and confident individuals, safe to enjoy and express themselves. Our curriculum is centred around a broad range of activities including Competitive, Creative, Outdoor and Adventurous, Fitness, Athletic and Relational activities to develop students Physical Literacy as well as vital Life Skills and an understanding of Health and well-being. Our ultimate goal is to ignite a passion and love for being active in our students and that through their PE journey, and the foundation we provide, they will develop their self-efficacy and cultural capital which will in turn inspire them to continue being active through our extra-curricular programme, within the local community as well as in their adult lives.
