Our PE curriculum and enrichment programme is crafted to empower all students with the necessary skills and insight needed to participate in a wide array of individual and team sports, breaking down barriers of gender, race and inclusivity along the way.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that not only champions physical health, but also instils a lifelong passion for sport and physical activity. This approach is designed to enhance mental and social well-being, encourage mutual respect and tolerance and to build resilience in the face of adversity. Our students are immersed in specialist knowledge that enriches both their personal growth and the wider community that we serve.
PE at SJBC blends practical performance with sport science in a sequenced, evidence‑based programme. Each PE lesson is structured around clear and concise learning objectives, which are framed using the KUD principles: to ‘know’, ‘understand’, and ‘do’ (demonstrate). This approach ensures that students not only grasp the theoretical concepts but also know how to apply them practically.
Half‑term sport rotations sustain breadth and enthusiasm, while clear success criteria and differentiation move pupils from mastering basics to applying tactics and leading others.
Rigorous assessment from KS3 checkpoints to exam‑weighted qualifications prepares future athletes, coaches and therapists for further study or careers in sport.
PE homework at SJBC deepens learning and fosters independent activity while strengthening literacy and personal development. KS3 students complete a termly booklet of recall quizzes, extended writing, tactical tasks, fitness challenges and profiles linking theory to practice. At KS4 (GCSE PE) and KS5 (CTEC Sport) Ever Learner tutorials, quizzes and exam‑style tasks enable self‑paced revision with instant feedback.
Across KS3‑5, SJBC PE fuses wider skills with performance: tier 2/3 vocabulary, extended writing and AO1‑AO3 tasks sharpen literacy, while call‑and‑response, oral justification and peer critique build oracy. Numeracy grows from basic measurement to KS5 data analysis and training‑zone maths. Research homework boosts independent study, and leadership, reflection and coursework link learning to sport careers.
