The Physical Education curriculum at St Cecilia’s comprises core PE at KS3/4, GCSE PE at KS4 and Sports Studies at KS4. It is inclusive and centred around educating the whole child, through a broad, yet focused range of activities, offering competitive and creative opportunities for all. This enables pupils to grow into confident, resilient, valued members of the community, living active healthy lifestyles in both mind and body, leading to a complete state of well-being.
Below you will find several documents that allow you to learn more about our curriculum:
Our 5-year plan outlines the coherently planned and sequenced learning journey our pupils will undertake, auditing and then building on what has been learned at KS2, including how substantive and disciplinary knowledge is organised within topics in order to best access both a unit end point and future learning that relies upon this.
Alongside an emphasis on Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary within the curriculum, our reading document provides examples of how reading is prioritised and how we use the latest research to guide reading and incorporate tasks that manipulate and emphasise meaning within it.
Our assessment document shares how our assessments have been designed to assess composite knowledge (the big picture) and thus provide the greatest opportunity to use teacher feedback to address pupils' gaps in key component understanding, address misconceptions and reteach where necessary. All leading to improvement in learning.
In addition, Catholic Social Teaching flows throughout our curriculum, and is given special focus each half term in the form of a departmental agreed activity. See an example of this below.
Finally, look within our school’s Personal Development Overview document for examples of how our subject contributes towards our pupils’ holistic formation.
