Curriculum

7

What pupils will learn

How it builds on learning

 

We offer a variety of traditional activities that look to develop and build on the skills that were previously taught during KS2 and these skills will be covered in activities such as striking and fielding, Health and fitness, invasion games, track and field events and dance and gymnastics.

We aim to build confidence by empowering students to become more confident across a wide variety of activities such as Netball, Hockey, and football. We promote tactical awareness and strategies for outwitting opponents, as well as skill development.

Pupils will learn about the techniques needed for various skills and the knowledge to play in a game situation where the rules are applied and their understanding is developed through the opportunity to perform, identify effective performance and to assess and improve their own and others work

Within PE we operate a continuous assessment process across the whole year. We have recently developed our curriculum to give our students the opportunity to achieve and progress in every lesson through performance and other important attributes like team work, resilience and communication.

What pupils will learn

How it builds on learning

 

Students are given the opportunity to build on the foundations delivered in Year 7 where they are exposed to greater tactical awareness, more advanced drills and a greater appreciation of the knowledge and understanding for the games. We start to introduce some racquet sports which will allow for a specific technical focus but also the knowledge of tactics and rules.

Skills are re-visited and refined and there is a greater focus on applying the rules along with a greater understanding of how to outwit your opponents. The introduction of certain racquet sports like badminton and table tennis is designed to promote further breadth and depth in the activities that are explored across KS3.

There continues to be a focus on performance but equally building on resilience, teamwork and coaching and leading small groups.

More opportunity to lead and problem solve using knowledge and understanding of previous skills and ideas

What pupils will learn

How it builds on learning

 

A great opportunity  to make new connections with the possibility of life-long physical activity and so a variety of alternative games are included like American ‘touch’ rugby, Ultimate Frisbee and Handball so that students can experience something new with regards to activities, but start to make connections between the knowledge, tactics and strategies that they had previously experienced in Year 7 and 8.

By offering alternative activities alongside the more traditional games, it creates a great opportunity for everybody to involved in something that they enjoy whilst embedding previous tactics and strategies in Year 7 and 8.

We have also started to create pathways in our KS4 curriculum and so being able to participate in some alternative games allows every student to choose a pathway that they will get fun and enjoyment from.

Assessment

Is on going but in every lesson we take a holistic approach with a focus on the head, the heart and the hands.

Supporting your child

What you can do at home:

The most important thing you can do is to promote an active lifestyle. Research shows that where parents and carers model the enjoyment and participation of sport and activity, children are more likely to pursue it themselves – and not to give up. Encourage your child to try new sports (you can try them too!), to join after-school clubs, and to see physical activity as part of their general wellbeing, both physical and mental.

Extended learning

Clubs/ Enrichment opportunities:

At Cambourne Village College we recognise the importance of involving as many students as possible from all backgrounds to have fun and participate in extra curricular activities. Many of the clubs held afterschool are used in preparation for fixtures but also to include sports that are currently trending in our communities and cultures.
