‘Physically educated persons are those who have learned to arrange their lives in such a way that the habitual physical activities they freely engage in make a distinctive contribution to their wider flourishing.’ James MacAllister
Our PE curriculum at St Cuthbert's is designed and constantly reviewed to meet the needs of our students. As a department, we believe Physical Education to be the vehicle which enables and provides students with the opportunity to holistically develop with the skills, attitudes, values, knowledge and understanding of lifelong participation in physical activity. The provision that we strive to provide is well balanced between participation and performance for all students.
As a department, our intent is to ensure that our curriculum provides students with the effective opportunities to:
