Year 9 PE Curriculum: In Year 9, the PE curriculum is designed with the following intentions:
- Strategic Skill Application: Students will master the art of combining and adapting skills and tactics in order to strategically outmanoeuvre opponents in various small-sided competitions. They will learn to seamlessly transfer skills and knowledge between different activities, fostering a well-rounded sporting capability.
- Strategic Analysis and Planning: Pupils will acquire the ability to critically assess their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of their opponents. This analysis will be used to formulate effective strategies that capitalise on available space, leading to successful outcomes. Moreover, students will devise action plans to continuously enhance their personal performance.
- Leadership and Management: Developing leadership skills, students will become adept at overseeing equipment, space, and their peers. This includes managing resources efficiently and effectively, as well as facilitating positive interactions within the sports context.
- Athletics and Orienteering: The curriculum incorporates athletics and orienteering, allowing students to cultivate problem-solving abilities. Engaging in these activities, they will learn to navigate challenges and make informed decisions in dynamic settings.
- Fitness Training Principles: Pupils will learn about fitness through orienteering activities, which will give students the opportunity and confidence to take part in those activities in their adult lives.
- Lifelong Engagement: Encouraging a lifelong connection with physical activity, students will be motivated to access training and competitive sports opportunities beyond the school environment. This participation outside of school is aimed at fostering enduring engagement in physical pursuits.
