Physical Education
Curriculum Overview
PE Vision
At St Aidan’s CE Academy, we believe that Physical Education and school sport contributes to the totality of the educational experience of pupils. Physical, personal, social, moral, spiritual, cultural, and emotional development are enhanced by the extracurricular experiences that make up our broad and balanced Physical Education curriculum. In addition, expression, communication, appreciation, and understanding are developed. Physical Education provides a range of experiences that form the basis for lifelong sporting and recreational activity which inspires pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities.
PE should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically literate, confident and develop resilience in a way which supports their health, fitness, mental health and well-being.
Opportunities to compete in sport, leadership and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. Structured work in Physical Education develops from the way many pupils enjoy exploring their own environment and physical abilities through practical and reflective work.
Our aim is to offer a curriculum which enriches pupils and leads to life-long participation and knowledge of sport, exercise and health
