The Mary Immaculate PE department aims to provide activities in a safe and enjoyable environment. Every student, regardless of ability, is fully challenged through well planned and differentiated learning objectives.
All students are required to take two lessons a week of PE at Key Stage 4 but are also able to take additional PE courses as part of their option choices.
At Key Stage 3 we aim to build upon the experience pupils will have gained in PE lesson at primary school. In Years 7 and 8 all students participate in 2 periods of PE per fortnight. They take part in a wide curriculum which includes themes such as team-work, performance, creativity, resilience and health, fitness and wellbeing. These themes are taught over a number of areas including traditional and non-traditional sports and activities.
As part of the option process students can choose WJEC GCSE PE and Health or WJEC VCSE In Sport and Leisure. Both of these qualifications have a significant theory weighting and also a practical element; for the GCSE PE and Health qualification this is through practical performance in two activity areas and for the VCSE in Sport and Leisure, there is an element of practical coaching.
