PE

The only one that can tell you, you can’t win is you, and you don’t have to listen”. Jessica Ennis-Hill

The man who has no imagination has no wings.” – Muhammad Ali

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them” – Michael Jordon


The above quotes are from successful athletes who have all benefited from participating in sport. Sport and physical activity have the power to change and save lives, entertain nations, and bring people together which benefits society.

The HAP PE department’s Vision is to work towards making every student’s practical journey:

  • Challenging - Every student will have the opportunity to try their personal best.
  • Inclusive - All students matter not just their ability.
  • Safe - Every student has the right to feel safe in their lesson.
  • Fun - Enjoyment is the heart of every PE lesson.
  • Confidence-building - To make mistakes and know they will not be judged on them.

The PE department's curriculum intent is to provide every student with the experiences that motivates and engages their imagination through physical activity. We want students to develop physical literacy that will help them to improve and maintain their physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.

We want all students to enjoy physical activity and sport and learn to apply the subjects’ benefits helping them how to understand, establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The department hopes to achieve this by developing a first-class teaching and learning environment where both staff and students enjoy working hard together to achieve success.

We want all students to embody pride in themselves and as part of our Academy and community. The department plans to achieve this by developing the attitudes, skills and knowledge required for students to become confident leader and provide memorable experiences throughout their student’s journey within Physical Education.


Students experience a depth and mastery of subject specific knowledge and skills

The PE curriculum encourages students to aspire to:

  • develop core transferable skills that underpin success within PE.
  • devise creative tactics and imaginative strategies.
  • participate in a range of sports and be able to transfer skills.
  • understand the process of planning, training, and reviewing performance within sports.
  • work with external providers so students can develop an appreciation of professional coaches and how they can excel within a particular sport or activity.
  • use extracurricular activities to enrich the curriculum.

Students to become lifelong and independent learners

The PE curriculum has been created to encourage students to create self-awareness, exploring issues and understanding the value of cooperative learning. The PE curriculum helps students to think about their individual or social problems thus making it easy for them to express themselves more effectively in any situation and:

  • apply a range of conventions and styles to structure innovative performance
  • ensure that SEND and EAL students can access learning in lessons to support independent learning
  • develop their individual character, including their confidence, resilience and independence contributing positively to the life of the school.

Students to develop critical thinking and excellent communication skills

The PE curriculum allows students to experience diverse sports and physical activities, allowing them to find something they enjoy doing. The PE curriculum aims to empower students and give them opportunities to have pride in themselves and their peers. It teaches them responsibility, problem-solving, self-discipline, and allows them to understand and practice the importance of sportsmanship. The activities of teamwork will allow the students to develop skills such as communication, leadership, cooperation, and collaborative-working skills which will help them develop a level of professionalism which they can transfer into other areas of their academics and lives. It helps students to:

  • learn and apply different techniques.
  • develop written evaluative skills embedded with subject specific language.
  • apply a range of strategies to outwit an opponent.
  • appreciate opportunities for competition.

Literacy and numeracy are at the core

Literacy is at the very heart of the PE department's revised curriculum. It is also pivotal in supporting the Whole School Literacy Programme and is used frequently in every scheme of work created in PE. In all schemes of work created in PE the following areas of literacy activities have been developed: Reading Strategies, Extended Writing. Physical education can provide students with another dimension to develop and explore key mathematical concepts and language.


Students are world ready and develop into global citizens

The PE curriculum encompasses all aspects of SMSC and British values to ensure students have the understanding and ability to stay safe in the world and leave a positive footprint within their local community, country and the world, through exploring historical events and modern-day issues. Global Citizens is about being active in their community and work towards making the world more equal and fairer. Global Citizenship in PE means celebrating our diverse and different cultured but also encourages students to take ownership of their own voice and use them to make positive changes for the future.


Relationship, sex, and health education

The PE curriculum at Harris Academy Peckham has been created to give students the opportunity to explore relationships in its many forms. Students will also explore relevant social issues, such as Bullying, Racism, Sexism, and the effects of drugs.


Core skills and values

PE as a department have adopted some core values that are integrated into the curriculum and link transferable skills from each activity area, the values outline what is expected from learners within the lesson these are as follows:

Communication

Effective communication is essential. If players are not letting their teammates know they are passing to them or where they are positioned on the field, the game will not run in their favour. Teamwork and communication are the driving forces behind a successful team.

Cooperation/teamwork

In team sports, success relies on seamless teamwork, where players recognise the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates. This helps them coordinate passes and provide support.

Strategic thinking

Sports aren’t just about running around aimlessly; they involve strategy and thinking on your feet. You need to plan your moves, adapt to your opponent’s tactics and make quick decisions. No matter what sport you are playing or if you are coaching a team, strategic thinking is essential.
