Physical Education

Curriculum

Physical Education is held in high esteem at Ïã¸ÛÈý¼¶Æ¬ and provides students with a wide variety of experiences and opportunities. The aim is to inspire students to partake in physical activity and sport, developing a range of transferrable skills which they can use both in and out of the education setting. We look to develop a passion for sporting performance, combined with the life skills of leadership, teamwork, communication and tolerance.

We provide opportunities for students to become inspired by sport (focus days, clubs etc), work collaboratively together in all lessons, as part of teams and a group of leaders, and become innovative in the way that they solve problems within lessons.

PE is a BTEC qualification.

We encourage as many students as possible to attend these clubs, whether it is competitive or to encourage healthy living. We offer a wide range of opportunities for students to engage in competitive sport. These Sports include Basketball, Trampolining, Learning to Swim, Netball, Rugby and Football. Ïã¸ÛÈý¼¶Æ¬ regularly brings in expert coaches to run extra curricular clubs. The aim of the extra curricular programme is to enhance the skills that students learn in lessons and give students the opportunity, if they wish to, compete against other schools in Sandwell and the Black Country. Extra curricular is a great way to increase physical activity levels, make new friends and develop teamwork skills. Ïã¸ÛÈý¼¶Æ¬ PE department have extensive links with sports clubs in the local area and extra curricular clubs are and excellent stepping stone to joining sports teams outside of the Academy.

The PE department also offer students the opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh award. Any young person can do their DofE – regardless of ability, gender, background or location. Achieving an Award isn’t a competition or about being first. It’s all about setting personal challenges and pushing personal boundaries. The DofE award is a tool to develop essential skills for life and work. It is a recognised mark of achievement; respected by employers..

14-24 year-olds can do a DofE programme at one of three progressive levels which, when successfully completed, leads to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
