Year 9 Physical Education Curriculum Plan

At KEQMS, the aims are five-fold:

Fitness: To instil the importance of a healthy body and mind. The aspects of fitness worked on are mobility, strength and stamina.

Social and Moral: Through small sided games and group activities, we encourage boys and girls to mix and co-operate. Through competition, we aim to instil the correct attitudes towards winning and losing and develop the pupils' self-discipline. Boys and girls should develop a sense of purpose, confidence, politeness, perseverance, initiative and independence.

Cognitive: To instil knowledge and understanding of the rules, skills, tactics and aims of the various activities in which they are involved during the programme.

Leisure: By providing a wide variety of sports, we hope to encourage pupils to continue their participation in those they enjoy most, outside school and once they have left school.

Aesthetic: To encourage pupils to appreciate and evaluate form and movement as well as giving them the opportunity to express their creative ability. There are seven members of the physical education and games department whose teaching is spread across all year groups. Compulsory PE lessons are integrated within the academic timetable in Years 7 to 9 giving individual pupils, especially the less able, access to specialist teaching and all pupils in the school have one double games lesson per week. Within PE lessons a wide and balanced range of activities is offered.
