Weobley High – PE
It is our aim to offer all pupils a broad and balanced curriculum which develops students both physically and mentally. We aim to promote being physically active as part of a sustained happy and healthy lifestyle. We take a student-centred approach, wanting all of our students to access success and therefore develop self-confidence. We aim to develop leadership, social and communicative skills, character, morals, aesthetic appreciation, team work alongside skill development and awareness of tactics and strategies. We offer a series of balanced learning opportunities which give students a range of experiences both within team and individual activities.
Key Stage 3
Within KS3 we focus on improving students physical, social and emotional wellbeing through a well-balanced physical education curriculum. This is achieved through experiencing a range of sporting activities within specific areas (invasion, net-wall, performing at maximum, accurate replication and striking and fielding). We aim to develop students’ skill level, knowledge and understanding and also their social and leadership skills. This is done through a well-designed curriculum offering scope and balance. Students will initially develop skill in each area before being assessed in the following strands:
- Leadership
- Coaching
- Performance
- Decision Making and Knowledge
- Mind Set
Key Stage 4
At KS4 students will continue to develop their confidence, motivation, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activity for life. This is done through ensuring lessons are both engaging and purposeful. Students will participate in a broad and balanced curriculum ranging between individual and team sports.
Students will also have the opportunity to study either GCSE Physical Education or a more practical course, OCR National Sport qualification.
We believe that students deserve a broad and ambitious Physical Education curriculum, rich in skills and knowledge, which develops physical, social and emotional well-being, preparing them well for future learning or employment
