In Year 7, our aim is to ‘create a love for physical education’ through a broad and balanced curriculum that builds on the knowledge, skills and understanding from Key Stage 2. Students will take part in a range of baseline activities that will focus on their ability to outwit opponents, demonstrate their skills in various activities, lead others and show initiative in problem solving activities. This will dictate their PE pathway across Year 7. We aim to provide an enjoyable experience where students develop a thirst for knowledge. They follow a prescribed curriculum where they will have the opportunity to take part in games activities, developing their knowledge for the game, the skills involved and tactics that can be applied. Students will all take part in a leadership unit and set their own targets for improvement in health related exercise. Gymnastics and swimming will allow students to look at their techniques and analysis of performance. Athletics will be introduced within track and field for students to attain their personal best and strive to improve this each year in Key Stage 3.
In Year 8, our aim is for students to ‘develop skills, embed knowledge and understanding’ across a range of activities. Some activities they will have experienced in Year 7 and other new activities will require them to apply the foundations learned previously in order to succeed and progress. We will introduce students to a sports education model, where they will work as a team to assign roles and responsibilities in a fun and competitive environment, working together and building up their achievements each week. Students will develop their chosen roles as the manager, warm up coach, statistician, match reporter or skills developer. Officiating will be introduced to learn new aspects within a game, along with dance activities in a range of styles and personal survival in the pool. As well as further development in activities like rugby, gymnastics (parkour), netball, athletics and cricket.
In Year 9, our aim is for students to ‘broaden their sporting experiences’ by offering a larger range of sports that they have not had the opportunity to try along with a range of roles in these sports. Students will continue to develop their knowledge and understanding, participate in problem solving activities as well as opportunities to evaluate performance and improve their personal bests but through new sports like volleyball, basketball, urban rebounding, clubbercise, handball, american football and officiate tournaments in badminton. Students will choose as a group the pool activity they would like to persue – aqua aerobics, water polo or a lifeguarding qualification. We also build on their confidence in leadership by allowing students to choose the activity they would like to lead to a group of peers. This will allow students to experience an element of choice which is the foundations of their Key Stage 4 curriculum in Year 10.
