The PE Department at Blue Coat School prides itself on delivering a diverse curriculum that promotes 3 key aspects developing motor skills, and promoting knowledge of rules, tactics, and strategies, all while encouraging a healthy active lifestyle and an enjoyment of physical activity. Students engage in various activities across the Core Key Stage 3/4 curriculum in line with the national curriculum, improving a wide range of knowledge, skills, and understanding through Physical Education, thereby influencing and growing involvement. Offering over ten sporting activities each academic year allows our students to immerse themselves in various experiences while also expanding their knowledge and understanding of factors underpinning performance, factors affecting performance, evaluating performance, and coaching and leading sessions. We acknowledge the critical role that PE plays in allowing our students to live life to the fullest, so we make sure that our practice is ingrained in our C.H.R.I.S.T values, which underpin everything we do as a department. As a result of our core offering, students can enroll in a variety of qualifications at key stages 4 and 5, including GCSE PE, Vocational Sport Studies, and both A Level and BTEC Sport Our vision is straightforward: we strive to provide “something for everyone” across our educational mission of “Equity over Equality,” appealing to and expanding the specific passions of ALL students through the variety of opportunities available in Physical Education, Physical Activity & Sports Science.
