KS2 Nurture PE

The KS2 Nurture PE plan aims to cover the breadth and depth of the national We do this by: ensuring that learners are active for sustained periods of time, have the opportunities to develop competence in activities (FMS), engage in competitive sports/activities (through FMS games and sports related to these activities), and lead healthy active lives.
The course is taught through the 3 pillars of learning in PE (Motor skills, Tactics and Strategies, Healthy Participation). Each unit of work will touch on each pillar with the focus more on motor competence in KS2. The three pillars of learning allows a coherent transition through a well sequenced curriculum to ensure learners have the chance of becoming competent in each
In guidance with research (Ofsted, GOV) we offer KS2 students the ability to improve and hone their fundamental movement skills (FMS).
The KS2 PE plan covers locomotor skills (essential for movement in and out of sporting contexts), Stability stills (improving the learners balance both while stationary and moving) and manipulation skills (allowing learners to hone their skills in using sporting equipment) across a 12 week block.

KS3 Nurture PE (Year 7 and 8)

In KS3 The overall aim is for our students to develop basic motor skills in the selected sports, start to use tactics and strategies at a basic level which allows them to play the chosen sports competitively at a basic level, getting them ready to progress on to the KS4 curriculum.
The KS3 PE plan aims to cover the breadth and depth of the national We do this by: ensuring that learners are active for sustained periods of time, have the opportunities to develop competence in activities (football, benchball and netball), engage in competitive sports/activities (competitive drills and games in the chosen sports), and lead healthy active lives.
The course is taught through the 3 pillars of learning in PE (Motor skills, Tactics and Strategies, Healthy Participation). Each unit of work will develop skills from each pillar, The three pillars of learning allows a coherent transition through a well sequenced curriculum to ensure learners have the chance of becoming competent in each activity.
The 12 week course is broken into three four week blocks of each This gives the learners more of an opportunity to develop competence through each pillar in each sport, ensuring the curriculum is not seen as a “taster” curriculum or “a mile wide and an inch thick”.

KS3 PE (Year 9)

The KS3 year 9 core PE plan aims to cover the breadth and depth of the national We do this by: ensuring that learners are active for sustained periods of time, have the opportunities to develop competence in activities (football, badminton and netball), engage in competitive sports/activities (competitive drills and games in the chosen sports), and lead healthy active lives.
The course is taught through the 3 pillars of learning in PE (Motor skills, Tactics and Strategies, Healthy Participation). Each unit of work will develop skills from each pillar, The three pillars of learning allows a coherent transition through a well sequenced curriculum to ensure learners have the chance of becoming competent in each activity.
Each unit of work is taught for a 12 week This is inline with current guidance and allows the learners time to develop competency in each sport through each pillar.
The 12 week blocks are broken down to a granular level of learning, in year 9 focusing on each skill in Allowing students the time to develop mastery in more unopposed scenarios.

KS4 Core PE

The KS4 core PE plan aims to cover the breadth and depth of the national We do this by: ensuring that learners are active for sustained periods of time, have the opportunities to develop competence in activities (football, badminton and cricket or Netball, Badminton and Rounders), engage in competitive sports/activities (competitive drills and games in the chosen sports), and lead healthy active lives.
The course is taught through the 3 pillars of learning in PE (Motor skills, Tactics and Strategies, Healthy Participation). Each unit of work will develop skills from each pillar, The three pillars of learning allows a coherent transition through a well sequenced curriculum to ensure learners have the chance of becoming competent in each activity.
Each unit of work is taught for a 12 week This is inline with current guidance and allows the learners time to develop competency in each sport through each pillar.
The 12 week blocks are broken down to a granular level of learning, in year 10 focusing on each skill in Allowing students the opportunity to develop skills learned previously and apply them into more competitive and challenging scenarios and in year 11 the focus is on using these core skills in competitive full context scenarios.

GCSE PE

The GCSE PE curriculum equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to take part in competitive sports to a higher standard than in Core PE and achieve GCSE qualifications to show this.
Learners have the opportunity to be develop skills (in isolation and in context) and be assessed in Futsal, Badminton, Table Tennis, Rock Climbing and Dance
Theoretical emphasis is split into two categories “the human body and movement in physical activity and sport” and “sociocultural influences and wellbeing in sport and physical activity”.
The content is sequenced in a cumulative manner that allows students to build blocks of deeper learning.
GCSE PE equips students with the skills and knowledge to be competent, competitive sports performers with a deep understanding of their own bodies, movement in sport and sociocultural influences and wellbeing in sport.
