PE

The vision of the PE department is to provide knowledge through instruction, practice, and feedback, enabling pupils to flourish within their phase and prepare them for the next stages of learning.

Our focus is on three connected pillars of progression that develop competence to participate, in order to meet the aims of the National Curriculum. These are:

• Motor Competence (DOING): Executing a range of movements that become increasingly sport- and physical activity-specific.
• Knowledge of Rules, Strategies, Tactics & Safe/Effective Participation (KNOWING): Understanding the conventions of participation in different sports and physical activities, along with how to take part safely and effectively.
• Development of Physical Fitness (FITNESS): Understanding the importance of, and maintaining, good physical health and fitness.

Leadership in Competition

The department plays a lead role in delivering Level Two competitions as part of the wider Tameside School Sports Partnership Competition strategy. Our extra curricular timetable for this term is here:

Clubs run from 3pm to 4pm, Fixtures finish at approximately 5:15pm

KS3 Physical Education

The Key Stage 3 curriculum gives students the opportunity to experience new sports and develop their skills in familiar ones. Pupils study the following activities on a rotation schedule. Fitness testing takes place three times a year. The sequencing of activities may differ slightly depending on the group or set.

To enable success at GCSE and encourage lifelong participation in physical activity and sport, we ensure all students are at least competent performers in our target sports:

• Table Tennis
• Trampolining
• Volleyball
• Athletics

KS4 Physical Education

In Years 10 and 11, pupils tackle more complex and demanding physical activities. They continue to take part in a wide range of activities that develop personal fitness and promote an active, healthy lifestyle.
