Aims & Vision

In PE we want to inspire young people to participate in and enjoy physical activity, and to recognise the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle which continues into adulthood. We want to instil this through effective teaching and learning that is constantly looking to move forward, providing opportunities for pupils to assume responsibility for their learning, to engage inquisitive minds and provide learners with a high standard of learning that should be expected by them every lesson.

At Finham Park we want to make Physical Education into its own unique brand that motivates and excites pupils of all ages and abilities. We are striving to be an ever developing department with a passion for allowing pupils to grow and learn, and to give them moments of inspiration and enjoyment that will remain with them beyond their time at Finham.

This vision is to be achieved with the following core aims and values in mind:

Encourage enjoyment in PE through a range of physical activities

Maximum participation in all lessons

Pupils to have the opportunity to learn through different pathways through each key stage

Pupils to assume own responsibility for learning through leading parts of the lesson allowing them to inspire others and instil positive attitudes

Pupils to engage in enjoyable and challenging learning experiences which are child centred

Provide a variety of sporting opportunities outside of the curriculum that accommodate for all levels

Foster and nurture each child's talent and potential, including G&T

Maximise examination results
