Curriculum – PE

Vision

Our aim is to provide a broad, engaging and inclusive curriculum that fosters a love of sport, physical activity and being healthy and active, regardless of sporting ability. We hope that this will continue after students have left school. On 6 activities, we want to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding. In these activities we will spend double the amount of time than we have in previous years. These activities combine Invasion games, Net/Wall, Gymnastics/Dance (Girls), Striking and Fielding and Fitness/Athletics events to give our breadth, balance and variety.

We aim to give knowledge and understanding of skills, tactics, rules of each sporting activity, but more importantly, develop leadership, communication, trust, friendship and cultural cohesion in our students.

At The Radclyffe School GCSE PE study is broad, coherent and practical encouraging students to be inspired, motivated and challenged by the subject enabling students to make informed decisions about further learning opportunities and career pathways. The GCSE PE equips students with the knowledge, understanding, skills and values to develop and maintain performance in physical activities and understand the benefits to health, fitness and well-being. Students gain knowledge and understanding of applied anatomy and physiology, movement analysis, physical training, sports psychology and socio cultural influences.
