Learning will take place through structured, differentiated lessons using lesson aims and objectives. The use of formative and summative assessments will be adopted to ensure achievement has been obtained. For example; through the use of resource cards in practical lessons and meeting the lesson aims and objectives.

Pupils will be encouraged to attend after school clubs or verbally directed to sport teams and clubs around the Preston district. This will provide social, cultural and educational opportunities for pupils.

Pupils will be tracked through specific schemes of work, with each pupil either below target, on target or above target.

Students’ achievement is continually assessed, and students are given regular verbal and written feedback to support further improvement. Students are involved in evaluating their own and each other’s achievement and in setting targets for their own development. Progress Reports will advise parents and students on the progress that the child is making.

Following Whole School Literacy Policy as displayed in all classrooms as appropriate. Use of numeracy can be accessed through keeping scores, numeracy tasks set in activities and linking numeracy with sport as displayed on PE noticeboards.

All pupils are provided with the opportunity to participate in sport in a safe, secure and relaxed environment within Larches High School. Pupils will have the chance to explore and experience different sports and will look at the cultural and social backgrounds of the sports they are taking part in (through certain topics in GCSE). We support pupils to gain knowledge of how to keep them healthy and make informed choices about participation in sport.

Pupils will have the opportunity through the PRU network to represent the school in sports such as football, badminton, tennis, dodgeball, table tennis, orienteering, a water sport and athletics. We attend a “Girls festival” each year which includes a choice of multi sports to participate in delivered by professional athletes. Pupils have the chance to also support these events and make a social contribution not only within the school but out in the wider community. For example, pupils support events through the yearly PRU to PRU games by officiating and taking responsibility for scoring throughout the tournaments.

Specific Awareness Days/weeks/months’ are used within the curriculum to celebrate and draw attention to relevant topics that enrich studies and allow for the development of a greater knowledge.

• Nutrition and Hydration week 10/3/25 – 16/3/25
• National no Smoking day ( Links with the Respiratory System and Lifestyle choices) 12/3/25
• National Skipping day 28/3/25

British Values

Mutual Respect and Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs

Students in PE use of a range of social skills in different contexts, including working as a team and socialising with pupils from different religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. They are also taught about respecting students’ different abilities and also the calls/judgements made by officials during games.

Democracy

Within all lessons students get the opportunity to have their opinions heard amongst their peers when discussing topics and current issues and tactics. Students are encouraged to learn about democracy and allowing everyone the opportunity to have their say.

Rule of Law

At Larches High School we teach students about rules, sportsmanship, etiquette and fair play. In every lesson students abide by the rules and regulations, gaining a good understanding of the rules of each sport and the importance of consequences such as penalties, fouls and red cards. This allow students to understand the consequences of their actions which in turn helps students apply this understanding to their own lives.

Individual Liberty

Within our lessons students are taught about self-discipline and that to be successful you must work hard, show resilience and have a growth mind-set that anything can be achieved if you put your mind to it. Leadership is another area that we look to develop within our students within lessons and extra-curricular activities, this can be through captaincy of a team or taking the responsibility of a coach to improve other pupil’s performances.

Students are constantly marked on, above or under target and comments and next steps are provided.

·         Learning will take place through structured, differentiated lessons using resources, lesson aims and objectives. The use of formative and summative assessments will be adopted. For example; through the use of resource cards in practical, elite video analysis and set lesson aims and objectives.

·         Lessons will promote individual development and teamwork, by setting individual/group targets, with peer analysis in practical’s to encourage pupils to enhance their theoretical knowledge and practical capabilities.

·          All pupils will follow specific schemes of work and will be assessed against Edexcel GCSE criteria.

·         Pupils will understand the contribution that physical activity and sport make to health, fitness and well-being.

·         Pupils will choose two different physical activities covered over the course to be video recorded. This is to gain an overall GCSE grade.

Students’ achievement is continually assessed, and students are given regular verbal and written feedback to support further improvement. Students are involved in evaluating their own and each other’s achievement and in setting targets for their own development. Progress Reports will advise parents and students on the progress that the child is making.

Following Whole School Literacy Policy as displayed in all classrooms as appropriate. Use of numeracy can be accessed through keeping scores, numeracy tasks set in activities and linking numeracy with sport as displayed on PE noticeboards.

All pupils are provided with the opportunity to participate in sport in a safe, secure and relaxed environment within Larches High School. Pupils will have the chance to explore and experience different sports and will look at the cultural and social backgrounds of the sports they are taking part in (through certain topics in GCSE). We support pupils to gain knowledge of how to keep them healthy and make informed choices about participation in sport.

Pupils will have the opportunity through the PRU network to represent the school in sports such as football, badminton, tennis, dodgeball, table tennis, orienteering, a water sport and athletics. We attend a “Girls festival” each year which includes a choice of multi sports to participate in delivered by professional athletes. Pupils have the chance to also support these events and make a social contribution not only within the school but out in the wider community. For example, pupils support events through the yearly PRU to PRU games by officiating and taking responsibility for scoring throughout the tournaments.

Specific Awareness Days/weeks/months’ are used within the curriculum to celebrate and draw attention to relevant topics that enrich studies and allow for the development of a greater knowledge.

• Nutrition and Hydration week 10/3/25 – 16/3/25
• National no Smoking day ( Links with the Respiratory System and Lifestyle choices) 12/3/25

British Values

Mutual Respect and Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs

Students in PE use of a range of social skills in different contexts, including working as a team and socialising with pupils from different religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. They are also taught about respecting students’ different abilities and also the calls/judgements made by officials during games.

Democracy

Within all lessons students get the opportunity to have their opinions heard amongst their peers when discussing topics and current issues and tactics. Students are encouraged to learn about democracy and allowing everyone the opportunity to have their say.

Rule of Law

At Larches High School we teach students about rules, sportsmanship, etiquette and fair play. In every lesson students abide by the rules and regulations, gaining a good understanding of the rules of each sport and the importance of consequences such as penalties, fouls and red cards. This allow students to understand the consequences of their actions which in turn helps students apply this understanding to their own lives.

Individual Liberty

Within our lessons students are taught about self-discipline and that to be successful you must work hard, show resilience and have a growth mind-set that anything can be achieved if you put your mind to it. Leadership is another area that we look to develop within our students within lessons and extra-curricular activities, this can be through captaincy of a team or taking the responsibility of a coach to improve other pupil’s performances.

Students are constantly marked on, above or under target and comments and next steps are provided.
