The PE Department at St John Bosco endeavour for all students to be inspired to flourish into the best version of themselves having the confidence to take part in sport, both now and in the future. The department strive to do this cheerfully by sharing love, knowledge and kindness whilst educating minds, developing healthy bodies, and promoting positive attitudes towards lifetime physical activity, fitness, and sports skills. Sport provides development challenges like no other learning domain and contributes to a truly holistic development experience for pupils and staff.
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
The PE department provide opportunities to engage everyone through a diverse, challenging, multi-sport experience at all ages across all abilities. Whether an aspiring Olympian or for social and recreational purposes, we recognise the significant mental and physical benefits that come with regular play, participation or competition. Equally we recognise and nurture the development of fundamental behaviours that emerge by participating and competing in sport. The skills and behaviours developed through sport including self-regulation, leadership, adaptability, self-awareness, confidence and social-emotional understanding have gone on to help many to succeed in careers beyond sport. We provide an array of leadership opportunities and qualifications including FA sports leaders, Indoor Athletics Leaders for both KS3 and 4 pupils, furthermore each pupil is encouraged to demonstrate leadership skills in every lesson, with some representing the school as young leaders for Primary Sports days.
We promote and support pupils who are currently competing at higher level sports such as representing England Football U14s, competing for Great British boxing, representing Great Britain at BMX world Championships. Although we experience sporting success, the department’s priority is to be fully inclusive and to give every child the opportunity to play regardless of their ability. We offer a wide range of extra curricula activities as can be seen on the timetable below to allow enjoyment at all levels.
The emphasis throughout our curriculum is to allow students to develop the three pillars of PE; healthy participation, motor competence and knowledge of rules, strategies and tactics. This is reflected in our Head, Heart, Hands assessment method used throughout KS3, building on the fundamental movement skills established in KS1 and KS2, spending time consolidating and refining them whilst building competence and confidence in more complex competitive and challenging contexts. At St John Bosco PE we prepare pupils for KS4 Btec Sport by assessing both practical and theoretical methods at all key stages, recognising that success in sport comes in a variety of aspects, not simply in a pupil's ability to play but also in their knowledge of the rules of the game, the tactics they can apply or anatomy and physiology linked to a healthy lifestyle.
