At Limehurst Academy, our Physical Education curriculum is designed to give all students a positive, enjoyable and meaningful experience of PE, helping them to develop physically, socially and personally.

Through a broad and inclusive range of activities, students build physical competence (Hands); knowledge and understanding of physical activity and health (Head); and personal qualities and life skills such as teamwork, communication, leadership and resilience (Heart). These three drivers underpin every lesson and ensure students access all domains of learning.

Our curriculum follows a clear progression, allowing students of all abilities to develop confidence, improve performance and experience success, whilst being appropriately supported and challenged. We believe that when students enjoy PE and feel successful, they are far more likely to remain active and make healthy choices beyond school.

Opportunities to extend learning are provided through extracurricular clubs, school sport and leadership roles (Sports Leaders Award).

At Key Stage 4, students can study OCR Cambridge National Sport Studies, building on their practical experiences to develop a deeper understanding of sport, physical activity and the wider sporting world.

Ultimately, our PE curriculum aims to develop skilled, confident and motivated young people who leave school with the knowledge, life skills and positive attitudes needed to lead active, healthy lives."
