BCS SPORTING AIMS

The Physical Education Department at BCS, as a minimum, strives to meet all the requirements of the National Curriculum, allowing students to experience a wide range of activities and develop their knowledge and understanding of the principles and rules of sport.

Our Departmental Philosophy is:

" ENJOY, ACHIEVE, ASPIRE"  fulfilling aspirations through sport

All members of our PE Department are committed to the delivery of High Quality PE, both within lessons and through extra-curricular activities.

In particular, we pay attention to;

• Positive attitudes towards Physical Education and Sport.
• An understanding of the “Spirit of Competition”.
• Self-determination and the spirit of cooperation with others.
• An appreciation of the relevance of exercise, diet and hygiene to good health.
• The physical development and general fitness of all students.
• The development and progression of individual skills.

We also actively encourage the development of sportsmanship, respect for others and positive relationships between groups by the involvement of pupils as participants and observers.

Our PE programme provides physically challenging land and water based activities in a variety of environments and assists in the development of self-confidence and self-discipline, as well as making an important contribution to pupil’s personal and social development.

The Department aims to encourage a lifelong participation in physical activity and sport through our teaching and a dedicated approach to extracurricular opportunities.
