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.
