Intent
At Brompton Hall school we deliver PE to develop the physical, social and emotional well-being of our students. Our bespoke child-centred PE program encompasses the school Hearts and Minds ethos based around 5 key aspects of personal resilience and growth, supporting positive mental health and wellbeing through the promotion of health, equality, achievement, respect and tolerance.
We aim to provide an engaging and challenging curriculum that allows (all) students to achieve beyond their expectations. To offer excellent opportunities to develop a healthy life-long love of physical activity and to develop a first class teaching and learning environment where both staff and students enjoy working hard together to achieve success. We want all students to feel they belong as part of a team, believe in their healthy potential and become as physically, socially and emotionally well as they can be. We do this by developing the attitudes, skills and knowledge required to be a leader and provide memorable experiences throughout a student’s journey within Physical Education.
Implementation

At Key stage 2 the focus is on the pupils enjoying and engaging in physical activity by providing them with the opportunities to obtain the skills and knowledge to be physically active. They are taught a broader range of sports/activities aimed at improving their social, emotional and healthy well-being. In year 6 the pupils take part in a 6 week unit of work in Swimming
Key Stage 3
In year 7, 8 and 9 students will focus on improving their physical, social and emotional well-being through an engaging range of sport and physical activities.

North Yorkshire Inclusive School Sports Partnership
Brompton Hall School is heavily involved in attending events run through the North Yorkshire inclusive sports partnership, which gives all the pupils the opportunity to represent the school. The events allows the boys to socialise and play against pupils from other schools in a competitive environment which our boys thrive within, where there is a huge focus on fair play, sportsmanship and equality.
Covid-19 Update
Now that we have returned to school following the Covid-19 lockdown, we have adjusted our curriculum to catch up with the missed learning time in school.
The current Year 11 BTEC PE students have been awarded grades for two out of the four units of work (Practical Performance in Sport and Applying the Principles of Personal Training) that were planned to have been completed by the end of the Year 10. These grades have been awarded based on teacher assessments and completed coursework to date.
The scheme of work for this year has subsequently been adjusted to allow time to complete the remaining units of work, with additional catch-up sessions being offered after school to our students as of and when required.
