Curriculum – Sports Studies

Vision

At The Radclyffe School our Sport Studies curriculum aims to reach the young people from The Radclyffe School and connect them to the inspirational power of Sport and Physical Education so that they are enthused to participate both now and, in the future. The study of Physical Education and Sport Studies covers a broad range of physical activities giving students a chance to explore a range of tactics, strategies and compositional ideas as well a chance to express their creativity and passion within the subject. Students will be encouraged to make decisions throughout at each stage and reflect on their own and others performance to develop evaluative skills.

Students undertaking Sport Studies will develop through the use of various roles such as a performance, coaching and officiating. Students will develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to be able to plan and lead a sports activity session and develop knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of a leader.

Students will experiment with skills and knowledge to enable all students to lead and participate in a balanced, healthy and active lifestyle from a young age as well as develop social, ethical and educational values through physical activity. Through the development of these skills Sport Studies builds students confidence to participate to the best of their ability and overcome any challenge that may present itself. Students will also develop a rounded understanding of contemporary issues in sport which equips students with the knowledge of sport in the modern world.
