Curriculum Intent

We endeavour to develop the core skills, tactical knowledge, confidence and personal skills to encourage active healthy lifestyles and promote lifelong participation in exercise and sport. Through studying individual and team sports, students develop their knowledge and understanding of the key rules, regulations and scoring systems. Students learn how to make healthy lifestyle choices by understanding about the human body, different types of exercise, diet and fitness. We aim to support and improve mental and social health through leadership opportunities, developing team work, communication skills, resilience and empathy. Lessons are sequenced and challenging to support progress, independence and creativity along the learning journey. Students can continue to develop their skills, knowledge and expertise by going on to study sport at KS4 and at higher education with an aim of working within the sports and exercise industry.
