Year 7 PE Curriculum: In Year 7, the PE curriculum is designed with the following intentions:
- Skill Development and Game Awareness: Students will progress in their understanding of various games, learning fundamental techniques and rules. They will focus on refining their skills in sending and receiving, enabling them to maintain possession during conditioned competitions.
- Performance Assessment: Pupils will learn how to evaluate their own performance across a range of contexts. They will compare their performance against specific success criteria and identify simple strategies for enhancing their abilities.
- Athletics: The curriculum introduces athletics activities, providing students with insights into event setups, techniques, and rules. This foundation will foster their understanding of basic athletic principles.
- Health related fitness: Pupils will learn to use their body weight to develop their muscular endurance and will complete circuits working on both cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Additionally, they will develop an awareness of the positive impact of exercise and extracurricular sports on overall health.
By the end of Year 7, students will have achieved a well-rounded understanding of physical education, encompassing skill refinement, self-assessment, exposure to various activities, and an appreciation for the importance of fitness and health.
