Curriculum Statement
The PE curriculum gives every student the opportunity to succeed through physical activity, whilst also improving mental wellbeing. We offer all children chances to compete in competitive sport, which helps them build character and learn values such as fairness and respect. Through PE, we develop the students' knowledge, skills and understanding.
Bromley Beacon Academy represents an opportunity for change for the young people who join our family. The lessons they learn here are more important than the subjects offered in our wide and varied curriculum. We offer students the opportunity to learn about real life, to grow and get ready for the next steps of their lives by shining a light on their potential. How do we do this? Crucially we treat each of them differently, addressing each of their strengths and areas for development.
Intent
In PE we educate the students both physically and mentally. We educate them on training different areas of the body, as well as how to eat and follow a healthy, balanced diet.
We intend to continue to develop the students' fine and gross motor skills through a wide variety of sports. Then to continue to progress these skills into a practice and game situation gaining an understanding of the rules of the sport and investigate ways to outwit their opponent.We offer them the opportunity to study the body further, while also offering them the opportunity to become a qualified sports coach, which in turn opens doors for their future.
This year we will help our students to gain a NCFE technical qualification in Health & Fitness or Sports Studies. We also provide opportunities for students to specialise in coaching qualifications, Personal Training qualifications and Boxing training.
