Physical Education

The aim of the PE Department is to develop every individual to their full potential physically, mentally, socially and emotionally through human movement. We aim to provide a rich sporting experience for each child as they develop their understanding of the need to keep fit and healthy. By promoting sportsmanship and team work we encourage pupils to take pleasure from the challenge of fair competition.

PE at L.S.U offers opportunities for pupils to:

· become skilful and intelligent performers;

· learn how to select and apply skills, tactics and compositional ideas

· develop their ideas in a creative way;

· set targets for themselves and compete against others, individually and as a team

· understand what it takes to persevere, succeed and acknowledge others' success;

· respond to a variety of challenges in a range of physical contexts and environments;

· make informed decisions about the importance of exercise in their lives;

· develop positive attitudes to participation in physical activity.

THE Physical Education curriculum:

We strongly believe in a 'sport for all' approach where each individual will understand the importance of regular exercise and leave with raised self-esteem and a high feeling of self worth. In the curriculum area, we aim to create an effective and positive learning environment where students feel comfortable in approaching new and challenging concepts. This allows all students, whatever their sporting ability, to be challenged according to their ability and to in turn develop their own self-confidence.
