At Cherry Tree Academy, our Physical Education (PE) curriculum is designed to be fully inclusive, broad, and balanced, aiming to foster a lifelong involvement and love for physical activity among our students. We focus on developing resilience and promoting key values such as honesty and teamwork, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to enjoy and succeed in PE.

Implementation

To achieve our PE vision, we have structured our curriculum around the following components:

• Curriculum Map: This outlines the progression of key skills and knowledge across all year groups, ensuring a coherent and comprehensive PE program.

• Scheme of Work: Detailed plans for each unit provide consistency and clarity in delivery, supporting teachers in delivering high-quality lessons.

• Progression of Key Skills and Vocabulary: We ensure that students build on their abilities and understanding year after year, with a clear progression framework.

• Assessment Tools: Resources like Progress-O-Meter wheels are utilized to monitor and support student development effectively.

• Inclusion Strategies: We are committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of ability, can participate and benefit from our PE program.

• Swimming Program: Our curriculum includes swimming lessons to promote water safety and competence among our students.

• Continuous Professional Development (CPD): We provide ongoing training for our staff to maintain high-quality PE instruction.

• Pupil Voice: Student feedback is encouraged to tailor our PE offerings to their interests and needs

Impact

Through this structured approach, we aim to:

• Develop students' motor competence, understanding of rules, strategies, and tactics, and encourage healthy participation.

• Instil a lifelong passion for physical activity, contributing to overall well-being.

• Promote resilience, honesty, teamwork, and other core values through physical education.
