curriculum intent
Physical and Health Education at Ebbsfleet Academy contributes to the overall education of all students by helping them to lead full and valuable lives through engaging in purposeful and high quality activity. It promotes active and healthy lifestyles, physical skills, physical development and knowledge of body actions. It is our duty to prepare our students for their lives beyond school and increase their confidence to access lifelong activities that will develop social, moral and physical attributes.
All pupils are given the opportunity to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. Students will experience a variety of opportunities and experiences that support this vision, challenging them both inside and outside the classroom. Students at Ebbsfleet Academy will focus on improving their fitness, health and mental well-being through knowledge and application. Leadership skills take a strong emphasis throughout the key stages, with students able to take on additional roles than just a performer.
Students will develop physical, technical and tactical sporting skills; enhanced by an embedded focus on mental skills such as resilience, determination and confidence. We aim to ensure all students leave the school possessing the skills, motivation and knowledge to enjoy a lifelong engagement with sport and physical activity. We trust that our broad PE curriculum will allow students to develop their love of physical activity and sport well beyond their time with us.
We strongly believe that it is our duty to develop opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports an active life once they leave our care. We embark on a new journey through the middle years programme in Year 7 & 8. Our curriculum has been designed 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 and work towards leading healthy and active lives. In Years 7 and 8 students focus on improving their physical, social and emotional wellbeing through an engaging range of sport and physical activities. Development of student’s physical literacy is key, as students are assessed on the 4 assessment criterion found in the MYP IB. The curriculum is matched to the club and competition framework and we encourage students to join the clubs to learn more about the sports that they experience in lessons.
