“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” Tim Notke.
‘Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong‘ John F Kennedy
A healthy mind starts with a healthy body. Through competition and performance we develop key skills whilst learning the importance of key attributes, such as resilience and determination.
Key Stage 3
Students of PE in Key Stage 3 at Sandymoor Ormiston Academy have the opportunity to develop mastery of skill and understanding in motor competencies, with progression of accurate movements, patterns and techniques to develop muscle memory. Students range of disciplines, including physiology, psychology and sociology, conventions and regulations relevant to specific sports, alongside self discipline and adherence to the expectations of different activties. Key Stage 3 PE also enables students to understand the impacts of sport on their health, their ability to participate individually and as part of a team, and improve through deliberate practice.
Core PE at Key Stage 4
Having a healthy mind is just as important as having a healthy body; they go hand in hand. Being able to de-stress and relax is key to success in exams and assignments. Two lessons per week, allows students to participate fully in sport, including team and individual activities.
