Curriculum Intent
We aim as a PE staff to deliver a curriculum that challenges and inspires students to acquire the skills, fitness and knowledge to follow a healthy lifestyle through school and into the wider community. The curriculum will aim to meet the needs of all abilities and will recognise issues surrounding students from varying genders, SEND groups, and those students listed as Priority Learners. Course content will be delivered by expert practitioners who will use their knowledge of students to improve student performance at every level. PE Staff will seek to create an atmosphere where the Rights Respecting Schools ethos is evident, participation is fully inclusive and where students feel safe and confident to strive to achieve beyond their expectations.

As a Rights Respecting School we fully promote the individual student right to engage in activities that allow creativity and offer enjoyment through participation (Article 31) This article form a cornerstone in all programmes of study and our extra-curricular offer.
Physical Education holds a special position within Clyst Vale as an area in which all students are able to express themselves and achieve success across a broad range of activities.
Our vision is for Participation, Performance, Popularity and Leadership. We want students to grow in confidence and ability through our classes, clubs , trips and events.
All students participate in KS3 participate in four hours of PE per fortnight and three hours per fortnight in KS4.
Students with a passion for physical activity can continue their studies with GCSE, Sport Studies – OCR and A Level PE courses.
Many students also take the opportunities provided to obtain coaching, leadership and officiating courses.
As a team we pride ourselves on delivering a broad, balanced and challenging curriculum that can be accessed by all our students. We provide many opportunities for students to add to their PE curriculum time, with lunchtime and after college clubs. Through further participation students can be coached to sporting excellence or supervised in their pursuit of recreational enjoyment.
We run popular and successful exam based courses at GCSE, and L1 & L2 BTEC, as well as coaching, officiating and leadership courses from Key Stage 4 upwards.
Once a year we hold a Sports Awards Evening to celebrate the efforts and successes of the students, to which guest speakers are invited.
