Physical Education (PE)

Curriculum Intent

To contribute to the growth of a vibrant community of exceptional people by developing character, confidence, and creativity through sport, exercise and physical activity.

Key Stage 5 Qualifications

At The Hazeley Academy the Level 3 Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate in Sport and Physical Activity.

We use the qualifications to develop students' knowledge and understanding of the concepts within PE and Sport Science to offer a superb basis for a career in Sport. Students will develop a greater level of theoretical concepts which are then applied to the world of sport. The Cambridge National aims to engage students in the following areas:

• Understanding how to prevent and treat sporting injuries;

• Understanding how different medical conditions can affect sports performance;

• Apply the principles of training to fitness and skill development for sporting activities;

• Understanding how body systems change and develop in response to physical training;

• Understanding how technology can assist in measuring changes in the body during physical training. 

The Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate

The Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate (Level 3) has been selected due to a high level of transferable skills and knowledge, ensuring fluidity of the transition into sixth form and then university. At The Hazeley Academy, we offer 2 tiers of entry where students can study to achieve a Level 3 extended certificate (1 A-Level). 

In the extended certificate, students learn:

• The structure and functions of the body's systems, including how they respond to physical activity;

• The principles of sports and activity leadership which are then demonstrated through the delivery (and evaluation) of a 6-session scheme of learning;

• How sport is organised and developed in the United Kingdom;

• How to develop a rehabilitation plan for an injured athlete (suggesting suitable exercises and nutrition to prevent atrophy);

• Biomechanical theory and movement analysis techniques to improve performance.

Ethos 

Sport, exercise and physical activity are key drivers for improvements for an individual and the wider community, and at The Hazeley Academy, we truly believe that sport makes a huge difference. Lessons are fun, enjoyable and engaging, which seeks to develop the child as a whole, contributing to their wider success in school. In order to continue to holistically develop the individual, clear pathways into sport have been created where students will learn about the different activities in their lessons, can then attend the extracurricular clubs/play for the school teams and finally access a range of local teams. PE also develops links with the Duke of Edinburgh Award to challenge young people to attain standards of achievement and endeavour in a wide variety of active interests. Students will also seek to serve their communities, experience adventure and to develop/learn outside the classroom.
