Physical Education

Curriculum Intent

Our Physical Education department intent is to create a lifelong passion for physical activity and sport. We aim to improve physical fitness, mental health, resilience and teamwork. With the ultimate aim to find an activity/sport that suits every child for their development of an active and healthy lifestyle. 

The curriculum is broad and balanced allowing students to develop the knowledge and skills across a variety of activities. In Year 7 and 8 students will receive two Physical education lessons per week, one individual lesson and one games lesson. Individual lessons include trampolining, problem solving, gymnastics, badminton, dance and fitness and athletics. Games activities include football, netball, rugby, handball, swimming, basketball, athletics and cricket/softball and rounders.

Most students have learnt basic game play and rules in Year 7 and 8, year 9 focuses on more strategies and tactics of how to be successful.  The curriculum differs slightly, students are introduced to volleyball, light weight training and vaulting.

At Key stage 4 we offer GCSE Physical education and Cambridge Nationals Sports Studies. Students who decide not take physical education will still complete 3 hours per fortnight of high-quality physical education lessons during years 10 and 11.

We adapt a holistic approach to teaching, so that students can develop physically, socially and mentally. Students will be taught using many teaching styles that develop every student at Sunbury Manor School. We strive to inspire our students through fun and engaging physical education lessons that are enjoyable, challenging and accessible to all.

We enthusiastically encourage all students from both key stages to participate in enrichment activities from a range of different sports to ensure a range of skills can be developed. All clubs are open for all students from all abilities. Students are also given the opportunity to represent the school across a wide range of sports.

We aim to prepare our students for a rapidly changing world of work where soft skills are increasingly important. Physical education offers students the chance to develop some of these skills these include critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and leadership skills.

Our facilities include a large outside grass area that has 4 outside pitches, 3 netball courts and 4 large indoor spaces.  We are affiliated to a leisure centre so we have access to a swimming pool and use of the gym at Key Stage 4.

The Physical Education team has 8 fully qualified PE teachers, that have a wealth of experience and specialisms.
