PE and Sports

Physical Education offers a high-quality curriculum to inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. Thought the curriculum, we will focus on the concept of

ME in PE

Physical ME – Development of physical skills

Thinking ME – Healthy body and mind

Social ME – Development of interpersonal skills

Mind-set ME – Developing a cultural capital

The PE curriculum will enable students to play a positive role in society by providing them with the knowledge, skills, attributes and qualifications to become educated citizens and flourish in the future.

KEY STAGE 3 CURRICULUM

In Key Stage 3 Physical Education, students build on and embed the physical development and skills learned in Key Stages 1 and 2, become more competent, confident and expert in their techniques, and apply them across different sports and physical activities. They should understand what makes a performance effective and how to apply these principles to their own and others’ work.

Students should 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. In Key Stage 4 Students should tackle complex and demanding physical activities. They get involved in a range of activities that develops personal fitness and promotes an active, healthy lifestyle.

We provide opportunities for students to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. Students follow the national curriculum for Physical Education to ensure that they:

To develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
To be physically active for sustained periods of time
To engage in competitive sports and activities to lead healthy, active lives
To prepare for future lives and develop a cultural capital
To learn life skills explicitly through a multi ability approach in Physical Education
To become active citizens in a global community.
To develop physical Literacy and life long physical activity involvement through Physical education, physical activity and school sport.
To enhance personal development of the student
To encourage children to develop a healthy relationship with exercise and build a habit of daily physical activity that will benefit them throughout their lives.
To help children and young people have the opportunity to realise developmental, character-building experiences through sport, competition and active pursuits.
To ensure sport and physical activity provision for children and young people is designed around the principles of physical literacy, focuses on fun and enjoyment and aims to reach all students.
To reframe sport and physical activity as part of everyday life.
To raise awareness of the importance of physical activity for children and young people, and make messages such as “at least 60 minutes a day” as recognisable as “5 a day”.
To encourage participation of extra curricular activities.

Over the key stages students should:

use a range of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in direct competition through team and individual games [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders, rugby and tennis]
Develop physical literacy
develop their technique and improve their performance in other competitive sports [for example, athletics and gymnastics]
perform dances using advanced dance techniques in 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
Fair play, respect, importance of sport, health related lifestyles and careers relating to physical education.

Key stage 4

Pupils should tackle complex and demanding physical activities. They should get involved in a range of activities that develops personal fitness and promotes an active, healthy lifestyle.

Pupils should be taught to:

use and develop a variety of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in team and individual games [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders, rugby and tennis]
develop their technique and improve their performance in other competitive sports [for example, athletics and gymnastics] or other physical activities [for example, dance]
take part in further outdoor and adventurous activities in a range of environments which present intellectual and physical challenges and which encourage pupils to work in a team, building on trust and developing skills to solve problems, either individually or as a group
evaluate their performances compared to previous ones and demonstrate improvement across a range of physical activities to achieve their personal best
continue to take part regularly in competitive sports and activities outside school through community links or sports clubs

A high quality PE is an entitlement for all pupils regardless of their starting points. A high quality PE curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sports and physical demanding activities. PE provides opportunities for students to be physically confident, supports health and fitness and build character and life values. In PE, pupils learn increasingly intelligent movement and important knowledge to inform their own healthy, active lifestyles and choices. Knowledge production is based on: physiology, psychology and sociology. Through the selection and sequencing of curriculum content that develops pupils competence, more pupils can believe that PE is for them and inequalities can be reduced. PE can play a massive part of broading access to important knowledge and skills and bridge the gap pp and non PP.

The aim of for all pupils to know and do more, progression is measured through the 3 pillars of progression

Motor competence
Rules, strategies and tactics
Healthy participation
