The curriculum intent of the Year 7 curriculum is to build upon the core skills that the students will have gained within Key Stage 2 fostering a love of physical activity and sport through mastery of the fundamental movement & motor skills that are the foundation blocks from which sporting prowess will arise. Within this journey we will challenge the students with various scenarios that will allow them to develop their problem solving & decision-making skills under pressure and within sporting contexts. 

Key Knowledge:
Students will build on and embed the physical development and skills learned in key stages 1 and 2, becoming more competent, confident and expert in their techniques, applying them across different sports and physical activities. Students should develop the confidence and interest to get involved in exercise, sports and activities out of school and in later life and understand and apply the long-term health benefits of physical activity. Students will be taught to: use a range of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in direct competition through team and individual games [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, netball, rounders, rugby and tennis] develop their technique and improve their performance in other competitive sports [for example, athletics and gymnastics or trampolining] take part in outdoor and adventurous activities which present intellectual and physical challenges and be encouraged to work in a team, building on trust and developing skills to solve problems, either individually or as a group take part in competitive sports and activities outside school through community links or sports clubs.
Assessment Points Students will complete assessment lessons at the end of each activity unit as a formative task with each activity block lasting 4 weeks (8 lessons). These formative assessments will be checked at key points in the year with summative assessment lessons the week before their track points are due so that the students work can be moderated & standardised. This will therefore allow for a summative assessment once per term.
Key vocabulary: Motor Competence Agility: The ability to change direction quickly and efficiently while maintaining balance. Co-ordination: The smooth, efficient movement of different body parts working together. Control: The precise management of body movements, speed, and force. Balance: The ability to maintain stability while still or moving. Technique: The specific, correct method for executing a physical skill (e.g., a pass, throw, or jump). Healthy Participation (The "Living" Words) Physical Fitness: A state of health and well-being; specifically, the 7 components: Strength, Muscular Endurance, Cardiovascular Endurance, Flexibility, Power, Speed, and Agility. Warm-up / Cool-down: The preparatory and recovery phases of exercise designed to prevent injury and aid recovery. Personal Best (PB): An individual's highest level of performance, encouraging self-improvement over competing with others. Sustained Activity: Engaging in physical exercise for an extended period to improve cardiovascular health.

With mastery of fundamental movements and motor skills, Year 8 sees a more challenging approach through looking at sport specific techniques that are required in individual activities alongside those that are cross-curricular in many physical activities through isolated, conditioned and competitive scenarios. This will further challenge their problem solving and decision-making prowess within more competitive and pressured environments. 

Key Knowledge:
Students will continue to embed the physical development and skills learned in previous years, becoming more competent, confident and expert in their techniques, applying them across different sports and physical activities. Students will understand what makes a performance effective and how to apply these principles to their own and others’ work.

Within the first year of study the students are expected to focus upon 2 key sports within lesson time to give them a greater quality and prowess in those 2 sports that can be used as back up for any student that only has a specialism in one or two (when they need 3).

Within theory lessons students will learn the content for paper 1 between September and May half-term after which they will switch to applying the gained knowledge by physically completing & then writing up their findings for their NEA coursework.

Within paper 1 students will develop knowledge & understanding of

the key body systems and how they impact on health, fitness and performance in physical activity and sport.

the basic principles of movement and their effect on performance in physical activity and sport.

the principles of training and different training methods to plan, carry out, monitor and evaluate personal exercise and training programmes.

This will allow them for 3 sports covered within curriculum time that can be used as back up for any student that only has a specialism in one or two (when they need 3).

Within theory lessons students will learn the content for paper 2 between September and Easter after which they will concentrate on revision.

One of their lessons weekly until Christmas will be given over to their planning & application of their NEA ready for the December deadline.

Within paper 2 students will develop knowledge & understanding of
