At Capital City Academy we aim to deliver a high-quality Physical Education curriculum which inspires all pupils to succeed and excel, not only in competitive sport but in a wide range of physically demanding activities. We provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness and offer opportunities to compete in sport and other activities which build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.
‘At Capital City Academy there is a place for everyone in sport. This is the environment to aspire to achieve your personal best. We are determined to make lessons fun and enjoyable, developing respect for yourselves and one another. There will be many challenges but with courage and integrity you will learn to deal with failure and success’.
The curriculum in PE at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 is designed to enable students to:
build on and embed their physical development and skills, become more competent, confident and expert in their techniques, tackle complex and demanding physical activities and apply them across different sports and physical activities. They will be taught to understand what makes a performance effective and how to apply these principles to their own and others’ work. They will be taught activities to develop their confidence and be exposed to a range of activities that develop personal fitness and promote an active, healthy lifestyle.
