In Physical Education our vision is:

At Beechwood School, in PE our curriculum vision is to develop an all-round, lifelong, love for physical activity.  We Respect all, we believe all students can achieve Excellence regardless of their prior attainment and we expect Kindness from all pupils.

Curriculum Aim

In the PE department, our curriculum is ambitious for all students.  Each year, all students are given the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of disciplines, both individual and team based to allow them to find an activity they enjoy and will continue to engage with in the future either through academic study of PE or through an active, healthy lifestyle.

All pupils aim for the same learning outcomes, the only difference between groups is the number of scaffolds. We teach to the top and scaffold along. We model knowledge to all students, engage in metacognitive talk and input disciplinary literacy across both core and academic PE with responsible citizens created at the end of their PE journey.

Curriculum Intent

In PE we meet the curriculum aims of the school by:
