P.E. & Sport
At Park Hall we intend to provide our pupils with an enriching curriculum which offers our athletes, dancers, swimmers and gymnasts the opportunities to develop their social and physical skills, while fulfilling our Park Hall values of respect and teamwork. These values are embedded within each lesson and are at the heart of providing all learners with the opportunities to compete and discover new sports and talents. Our Physical Education curriculum will enhance pupils quality of life as they are learning how to lead a healthy physical and mental lifestyle, whilst engaging in activity and exercise. Through physical education we develop children’s progress throughout the wider curriculum by developing their stamina, resilience and collaboration with others. Learners are encouraged to develop their leadership skills and to become confident in their own self belief while showing determination, passion and honesty. We intend to release the potential in every individual.
Intent
- We aim to ensure that our athletes are able to think tactically, communicate (using their kitbag of technical terms) and aspire to be expert athletes.
- We seek to develop expert athletes who are excited and enthused by an ambitious curriculum which enables them to know more, learn more and remember more. We seek to inspire our athletes along their active journey to become expert athletes. Our athletes will enhance their subject knowledge by reading and exploring a range of aspirational texts, reading to learn across the curriculum. We have the highest expectations that ALL learners access the full curriculum offer.
- We aim for all athletes to discover new talents and release potential, while engaging in a vast and diverse range of competitive sports and activities. We aim for our athletes to leave a sporting legacy which inspires and motivates others.
- Athletes are physically active for sustained periods of time and develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities. They will compete with integrity, resilience and respect, demonstrating the Park Hall values at the heart of each performance.
- We seek for all athletes to develop competence, proficiency and fluency in fundamental skills.
- All pupils understand how and why we need to live healthy and active lives. They make healthy choices. Extra curricular activities provide additional opportunities for pupils to practise, consolidate and apply their learning.
Implementation
Our inspiring and aspirational Physical Education curriculum (based on the National Curriculum) is meticulously planned to identify the knowledge and skills that our athletes will acquire. Each small step in our athletes journey has been carefully planned to ensure a challenging and progressive curriculum to meet the needs of all learners.
Athletes will regularly revisit key concepts and skills (over learning) and engage in regular retrieval practice which builds upon prior knowledge and enables them to make connections to deepen their understanding of new learning, committing this to long term memory.
Athletes will develop proficiency through regular practise and refinement of fundamental movement skills. These become increasingly complex as athletes progress along their active learning journey with increasing confidence and competence.
Athletes develop locomotor skills (running and jumping), stability skills (twisting and balancing) and manipulating skills (throwing and catching) moving from novice to expert through explicit instructions, models, practise and feedback
Athletes will intelligently and competently make tactical decisions (attacking & defending) in game based learning. In activities that do not require tactics, athletes will use strategies and skills to achieve success (gymnastics- movements and sequences, dance – choreography and performance).
Athletes develop their knowledge of tactics and strategies through modelling and repeated practice to increase independence.
Athletes critique and reflect on their own and peers’ competence, using their ‘Kitbag of technical terms’ (technical vocabulary)
Our aspirational athletes understand how and why we safely prepare for physical education and what the short and long term impacts of physical education are on their body. Athletes will understand how to make healthy choices and have a healthy mind in order to produce an optimum performance.
Athletes regularly engage in physical activity for sustained periods of time through taught lessons, active play and a wide range of extra curricular opportunities, which allows learners to practise, consolidate and apply their learning.
Athletes participate in inter/intra competitions, demonstrating our Big Ideas of sport -teamwork, competition, determination and respect. Athletes develop elements such as graceful winning and losing, demonstrating their integrity to their team players and oppositions.
Athletes are able to apply their knowledge and skills during competitions which provide opportunities for athletes to assess their own and peers use of tactics.
Impact
Athletes are inspired by a diverse range of sports men and women who have had a lasting impact upon the world, inspiring our athletes in creating their own lasting sporting legacy that will positively influence others. Athletes demonstrate the personal traits of resilience, independence and confidence through actively engaging in sports. Our athletes demonstrate competence in a wide range of sports and games, including competing in inter/intra competitions with integrity. Athletes compete with integrity, resilience and respect, demonstrating the Park Hall values at the heart of each performance.
