PE subject sheet
Why do we do what we do in this subject (aims)?
We believe that physical education is a vital part of school life and directly influences children’s future well-being. It is therefore our intent to provide an inclusive, broad and balanced PE curriculum that ensures ALL children will benefit, whether through enhancing existing skills, learning new skills or being introduced to new sports, clubs, teams and organisations. In so doing, it is our intent to ensure children understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
Beyond merely a subject, we believe that participation in sporting activity is a key element of developing a school in which pupils are proud of the community in which they belong. Great emphasis, therefore, is placed upon additional sporting opportunities beyond the lesson within after-school clubs, inter-house and inter-school competition and festivals as well as directly trying to support the local clubs within the Dudley area and our feeder schools.
