At St Gregory's, our aim is to help all pupils find enjoyment through physical activity, to inspire them to strive to be the best they can and to develop a lifelong passion for sports and physical exercise. We equip them with the knowledge and skills to support good physical and mental health so that they have the confidence and desire to lead an active healthy life.
Our curriculum is designed so that all students build the skills and knowledge of a wide range of activities, whilst supporting our students to fulfil their potential and compete in sport at County, Regional & National standard.
Our academic curriculum offers GCSE PE and A-level PE and it goes far beyond what is taught in lessons, for whilst we want students to achieve the very best examination results possible, we believe our curriculum goes beyond what is examinable.
Our KS3 curriculum offers a broad and balanced curriculum, exceeding the National Curriculum. The curriculum gives opportunity for students to use a range of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in direct competition through a broad range of individual, team and aesthetic activities. The curriculum is ordered in accordance with the BANES and County sporting calendar for example, Netball and Rugby is delivered in Term 1 to coincide with fixtures.
Our curriculum carefully sequences our students’ learning to ensure knowledge and skills are introduced in a logical order, allowing them to retain and build on their knowledge and skills with secure foundations. We begin Year 7 with a holistic multi activity unit of work that allows students to explore a range of activities early and build foundations. This is the beginning of their 5-year journey to grow and develop into physically literate young adults. The activities that then follow are sequenced carefully to build on prior learning, with skills being revisited to enable students to ensure learning is built on and secured.
