PE
Physical Education has a broad role to play in the development of the individual at Saracens High School, after all, opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed our values such as Discipline, Hard work, Honesty and Humility.
Self-confidence, self-esteem and self-discipline are all characteristics that improve readily in the environment that is created within lessons. We offer a high-quality Physical Education curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. All pupils have the opportunity to develop a variety of physical skills and we see each of them – regardless of talent or ability – as an individual with something to offer. We provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Pupils are taught to become more competent, confident and expert in their techniques, and apply them across different sports and physical activities, while developing the confidence and interest to get involved in exercise.
Key Stage 3
Pupils in Year 7 and in Year 8 have 3 hours’ curriculum time per week. During this time, they are able to develop their skills through a range of team sports like; Rugby, Netball, Handball and Football. Individual skills are developed through activities such as; Gymnastics, Athletics and Dance. We strive to develop our pupil’s abilities to use a range of tactics and strategies, to overcome opponents in direct competition (through team and individual games), and develop their techniques and improve their performance in other competitive sports. We fully encourage our pupils to take part in competitive sports and activities outside of school, through our Saracens community links and extra-curricular sports clubs.
