Churchouse PE Vision Statement “When movement is experienced as joy, it adorns our lives, makes our days go better, and gives us something to look forward to. When movement is joyful and meaningful, it may even inspire us to do things we never thought possible”. Achievement Challenge Enjoyment Sport for All Achievement We offer a high-quality PE curriculum that enables all pupils to enjoy and succeed in a broad range of physical activity. Through participation in physical activity, pupils will build on new and existing skills in order to reach their full potential. Students can study our subject at GCSE and A-Level, with many of our alumni progressing into careers within professional sport. Challenge We help pupils develop personally, socially and physically within the PE curriculum, as well as within extra-curricular activities. They learn to work independently and as a team player, taking on different roles and responsibilities, not only as a performer but as a leader, coach and official. Through the range of experiences that PE and school sport offers, they are challenged in recreational, competitive and creative situations. Enjoyment We encourage participation through enjoyable lessons and a wide range of extra-curricular activities to promote the value of a healthy, active lifestyle and help foster lifelong participation in physical activity. Sport for All We offer a broad range of sporting opportunities that encourage all students to engage with and enjoy regular physical activity. These opportunities range from competing in national sporting competitions to recreational lunchtime and after school clubs.
