Subject Aims & Vision:
Physical Education at Selby High is built on the foundations of Unlocking potential by providing enjoyable and engaging learning opportunities both in curricular and enhanced curriculum time. Embracing Diversity through developing participation and success for all within appropriately challenging work. It is believed that pupils should be exposed to a wide range of physical activity so there is both breadth and depth to the curriculum to Inspire learning.
All students should be competent in the skills and techniques of the activities offered and be able to compete in both adapted and full versions of the activities safely. Through sports, competitions at a range of levels in and out of school students develop their decision-making and resilience to success and failure. This enhances the student’s ability to complete these two skills in a range of life situations.
Self-organisation, Sportsmanship, Fair play and Teamwork are all vital aspects of PE teaching at Selby High School. They ensure all students have the capacity to abide by rules, work with others effectively and distinguish between right and wrong, crucial principles to succeed in today’s society. Pupils feel that their success is recognised and highlighted at a level suitable for them.
The PE department believes students should have the sports qualifications they need to continue through a career in sport no matter if they chose a sport based, vocational or sports science route.
Through our curriculum Intent we aspire for all pupils to understand that opportunity, combined with effort, can lead to success and achievement.
