PE lessons are designed to use sport and physical activity as a vehicle to encourage a healthy and activity lifestyle, but also to equip students with the necessary life skills needed post Redborne.

All practical activities will be taught in mixed ability groups and in year 9 all students will follow the same rotation of practical activities which may include: dance, hockey, badminton, trampolining, fitness, handball and athletics. In year 10 and year 11 students will be involved in the selection of activities based on group interests and preferences.

Skills learnt from core PE at Redborne: 

“Preparing ME for life”

Expectations:

It is an expectation that all students will arrive to lessons on time and with the correct equipment. The Redborne Red PE top and Redborne branded shorts/ skorts/tracksuit bottoms/leggings must be worn. Additional Redborne branded red hoodie or 1/4 zip top can be worn in cold weather. We encourage all students to be respectful at all times and support each other during practical tasks.

 

Baseline assessment:

At the beginning of each sporting activity students will complete a baseline assessment of their ability. The report in January will use the Redborne Progress Measure. This will be based on levels that have been achieved by December compared to the baseline assessments. In the case of performance misfortune, such as injury and/or illness, the teacher’s judgement based on performances during works-in-progress will also inform the level awarded.
