Physical Education department

By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study.

Over the course of the year students will participate in the following activities:

Human dignity

We teach students to show respect to others regardless of their religion, culture, nationality, and economic standing.  students are encouraged to show sportsmanship when competing in team or individual activities.  When taking part in activities such as gymnastics and dance students are encouraged to work collaboratively and use teamwork to express their ideas and talents. The curriculum is designed to be inclusive for all and all extra curriculum clubs are open to all students. All students are taught that all are equal and sport is used as a tool to bring people together regardless of what their background is.

Common good

Within the PE curriculum we explore a variety of activities, so that all have the opportunity to be involved. Students are encouraged to express their creations in activities such as leadership, dance and outdoor and adventurous activities and gymnastics.

Stewardship

Sports studies and GCSE-hosting go events – positive and negative effects on earth (countries). Fund raising to help the less fortunate in sport.

Generous and grateful – year 11’s donating their old PE kit when they leave, to help the less fortunate.  other students leaving PE kit that is too small, as spare or donated kit for others.

Participation

We have an inclusive curriculum where everyone has the right to participate. We are all equally encouraged to take part regardless of ability, background or religion.

Distributive justice

Within our department we allow inclusivity by having a PE kit that all studnts should wear.  this allows all students to be the same.  If students are having difficulty with purchasing kit, we give them kit for them to keep.

Fund raising/proving opportunities for all, an example of this was when Marcus Rashford started a campaign to get all children free meals and this is an example of a positive role model, influencing others for the common good.

Subsiding trips – Dofe/ residentials/ coaching qualifications – allow students to gain lifelong skills, character building and a qualification which without the subsidised cost, would not be achievable.

Subsidiarity

This is demonstrated throughout sport when sports people come together and give resources to the ones that require them. Some examples are Sadio Mane building schools, hospitals and houses in Africa or Soccer aid raising money for the poor or campaigns such as kick it out in football.

Solidarity

In PE students are taught to work as team and when competing against other schools/teams, they are taught to demonstrate solidarity through their relationships with others and help each other in times of need.

Promoting Peace

All students in PE will be taught the act of promoting peace throughout their time in and out of school. They are taught to respect each other and others from different walks of life. Promoting peace is a way of making sure all and everyone is equal.
