Curriculum
Homework
Pupils are given the opportunity to excel within a broad curriculum with a focus on improving their motor competence (in warm-ups; skills within lessons – passing etc), knowledge of rules, tactics and strategies while engaging in healthy participation.
The sequencing of our curriculum across KS3 provides opportunities for students to build their confidence, communication, resilience, and leadership skills in the broad number of sports that are offered, and skills that are learnt are transferrable across the different sports. These skills are built upon from year 7 to year 9 where more tactical based skills are learnt alongside the more technical skills.
In year 9, students are also provided with theory knowledge, which not only gives them an understanding of the topics in GCSE PE but also provides them with them with knowledge that they can use in later life with regards to their health and physical resilience.
The knowledge and skills that are learnt both theoretically and physically are continued into GCSE PE and BTEC Sport where the depth and breadth of knowledge is increased throughout KS4 and KS5.
