Curriculum Planning
Physical Education is organised into themes to allow for students to develop skills across broader area for example, football is taught alongside rugby and hockey to allow the skills of invasion games to transfer across.
The role of writing schemes of work is shared among all members of the PE department who are all aware of the content of each. These schemes of work are updated regularly.
Schemes of work are progressive and differentiated to allow all students to access the curriculum.
Teaching and Learning
The organisation of Physical Education in the school promotes teaching and learning.
Children are presented with opportunities to be creative, competitive, co-operative and to face challenges as individuals, in small groups or teams.
They will learn to think in different ways to suit the different challenges.
They will be allowed opportunities to demonstrate their learning and to use a range of teacher, peer and self-assessment.
The schemes of work will promote teaching and learning as it provides both continuity and progression.
Equipment and Resources
A selection of resources are available for all sports and the curriculum is arranged so that PE groups have equal access to all facilities and equipment throughout the year.
Pupils are encouraged to:
- Look after equipment
- Use different resources to promote learning
- Return all resources tidily and to the correct place
- Be told of any safety procedures relating to the carrying, handling and use of any resources.
Any resource that becomes damaged or broken which could cause subsequent injury will be isolated from use until it can be checked and made safe. Pupils could be asked to replace equipment if intentionally broke.
Safe Practice
All teachers are aware of the health and safety requirements of teaching all the sporting areas within the curriculum. The school teaches within the guidelines provided by BAALPE “Safe Practice in Physical Education”
Students will be taught how to carry and use equipment in the correct way. They are taught to recognise hazardous situations, assess the risks and take steps to control the risks.
Differentiation, Equal Opportunities and Inclusion
PE lessons are planned for inclusion of all students. Tasks and materials are differentiated to allow this to happen.
Special Educational Needs are identified by the SEN department at the start of the school year and classroom support is given by Teaching Assistants to these identified students.
Every pupil has equal access to national curriculum physical education.
All pupils in the school have equal opportunity in terms of curriculum balance, curriculum time, use of resources, use of facilities and access to extra-curricular activities.

Knowledge and Wisdom In...
Manshead CE Academy believes that Physical Education, experienced in a safe and supportive environment, is a vital part of a pupil’s physical development and well-being. A broad and balanced physical education curriculum is intended to increase students’ self-confidence and physical and mental development.
A balanced curriculum should provide a mixture of individual, paired and group activities which present co-operative, collaborative and competitive situations in order to take account of individual needs.
The above, experienced within a range of activity areas, aim to promote a broad base of knowledge, skills and understanding. These activity areas also aim to develop the ability of students’ to work independently and to respond appropriately to others regardless of age, gender, cultural or ethnic background. Pupils’ are encouraged to appreciate the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the effects of such on a healthy body and mind and also begin to understand the factors that affect health and fitness.
