Physical Education
The ACE curriculum through PE
“Never say never because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.” – Michael Jordan
At Cavendish Close Junior Academy, we create opportunities to raise aspirations and positively influence the health and wellbeing of young people through sport and physical activity. Children participate in two high quality PE lessons each week, covering two sporting activities every half term and are encouraged to set themselves goals to work towards. In addition to this, children take part in a weekly ‘Mile Run’ and ‘Drumba’ sessions to build up stamina and resilience.
We teach the value of positive teamwork and effective collaboration through our PE curriculum and wide range of sports’ clubs and team sports on offer. This is all done in an enjoyable and positive environment, whilst encouraging effective communication built upon respect and tolerance. Children work together to ensure they have clear understanding of healthy lifestyles, and they use specific and progressive vocabulary to explain this.
We believe that positive experiences help build the foundations for an active life. If children and young people have experiences that feel are fun, positive and give them a sense of confidence, they’re more likely to want to be active in the future. We give all children the opportunity to represent the school in a wide range of sporting activities and competitions – some of which are extra-curricular activities.
Through all of these, our children are able become ACE Sportspeople.
