Physical Education
Within the context of the Physical Education
Curriculum at Virgo Fidelis, sport is used to promote a positive attitude
towards health, safety and well being, not only for their time at school
but also for life.
At
KS3 & KS4 pupils are give the opportunity to engage in health
promoting physical activity They are taught how to prepare for particular
activities and how to recover afterwards.
They are also taught the short term and long-term effects of
exercise and the role of exercise in establishing and maintaining health.
In
Years 7, 8 and 9 girls take part in swimming, netball, basketball, hockey,
soccer, athletics, rounders and tennis.
Various outdoor activities are offered across all years as well as
the opportunity to study Martial Arts as an extra curriculum activity. The foundation for the GCSE course is provided in Year 9 for
the development of skilled academic excellence.
At
KS4 the curriculum builds on KS3 and underpins GCSE.
Pupils are taught advanced techniques, advanced strategies and
increasingly complex and technically demanding performances.
The pupils are now credited with greater responsibility.
At
KS4 the girls continue with the sports they have participated in at KS3,
but have the opportunity through a carousel system to specialise.
Clubs
such as hockey, dance, netball, soccer, rounders athletics, basketball and
martial arts are available to all pupils.
The
school has an excellent sporting tradition and consistently performs well
in all local competitions such as netball, dance, athletics and
basketball. (The school has been a current league champion).
The sporting success has led to many pupils qualifying for both
regional and national trials in sports.
We currently have two pupils who play basketball for South East
England and many who compete for Surrey in athletics.
In the Sixth Form off site activities such as
ice-skating, fitness, swimming and aerobics are timetabled. The school
offers a wide range of extra curricular activities including netball,
basketball, athletics, rounders, cricket, soccer, hockey and tennis First
Aid courses will also be offered at both, KS3 and KS4.
GCSE PE will be offered in the Sixth Form. |
