In Y7-9 we focus on core sports/activity in which we can help students to develop their motor competency, rules/tactics/strategies and healthy participation, building on these activities year on year. 

Every activity last for 3 weeks (6 lessons)

During units students will have lessons on skill development as well as lessons on rules/tactics/strategies.

• Badminton
• Football
• Table Tennis
• Rugby League
• Dance
• Gymnastics
• OAA
• Cricket
• Athletics
• Rounders
• Basketball/Netball

All students follow the same activities in Y7-9 except for basketball and netball, where boys do basketball and girls do netball. This is to match the current demand in the city and access to extra-curricular opportunities for these sports.

As well as the above students also take part in extra-curricular competitions and options weeks during curriculum time where they get to compete and enjoy different activities

In Y10-11 we aim to continue and master and refine students development in KS3. We aim now to develop students ownership of lessons as in order to meet our curriculum intent, we want all students to be competent and confident to take part in physical activity of their choosing as they grow older. 

Units of work still last for 3 weeks (3 lessons)

Lessons are now based on reproducing learning from KS3 and building on any areas that are needed.

• Football 
• Badminton
• Handball
• Fitness
• Trampolining + Climbing
• Gaelic rules/Aussie rules football
• Table Tennis
• Basketball
• Flag football
• Cricket
• Softball
• Rounders
• Volleyball
• Netball
• Rugby/Tag Rugby

Students get some activities that continue from KS3 but also are introduced to some newer activities to broaden their horizon. During KS4 they also get options weeks where they get to select and try more different activities such as Lacrosse as well as traditional activities throughout the year, giving them more sense of choice in what they do.
