Mission Statement
The aim of our Physical Education programme here at the BSA is to ensure all pupils
- develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
- are physically active for sustained periods of time
- engage in competitive sports and activities
- lead healthy, active lives.
We strive to develop students that have an ethos of working towards achieving a high level of personal performance. Our work is based within the HPL framework and provides working examples allowing pupils to make crucial links in their learning.
PE Programme Structure
- Level 1 Competition: At the end of each module in-class competitions take place based on learning.
Four level 1 house competitions take place per year. All of our pupils compete in all level 1 activities.
- Level 2 Competition: Pupils should be selected and targeted from level 1 competitions and PE lessons to attend after school PE training sessions. The PE Department provides training sessions for boys and girls in Years 3 to Year 10 throughout the year after school. These training sessions are used to further extend learning helping to prepare pupils for competitions and some are then selected fixtures against other schools.
- Assessment; Each pupil is assessed at the start and end of each unit of work to ascertain the progress made.
