PE
Curriculum
PE offers all pupils the opportunity to practice a healthy active lifestyle. Pupils take different roles in PE lessons including a performer, an organiser, a leader, an official, a spectator, a choreographer and an assessor. PE is a subject where pupils are actively encouraged to constantly engage with each other throughout the lessons and it encourages and promotes a variety of social skills including team work, leadership and resilience. Moreover, pupils are taught about the mental, physical and social benefits of sport and exercise, and are given the opportunity to learn about how to live a healthy active lifestyle, including diet and nutrition.
DANCE & Dance Curriculum
Dance can be separated into three disciplines – performance, choreography and understanding and appreciation. The three disciplines are taught and developed together with the aim to build personal skills that students can draw upon to succeed, not only in Dance but beyond the curriculum and in future employment. Our primary aims are to nurture our pupils’ talents whilst developing skills for life such as communication, creativity, leadership, confidence and commitment.
Our curriculum encourages pupils to hone and develop their performance and choreography skills. In addition to this, at KS4 we also explore the purpose of dance we create and the work of professional choreographers. Pupils not only replicate professional dance works but use them as inspiration when creating their own original performances.
