Curriculum Intent

At Polam Hall School our Physical Education curriculum aims to:

• Offer a broad range of physical activities and sports to stretch and inspire all pupils to achieve their full potential.
• Establish self-esteem through the development of physical confidence and competence.
• Offer competitive and non-competitive sports at a range of levels, developing the core values of teamwork, leadership, resilience and respect.
• Stimulate and maintain pupils' interest and enjoyment in PE in order to lead a healthy active lifestyle.

At GCSE students follow the AQA specification. Further details can be found using this link:

At Polam Hall School we assess KS3 students against age related expectations and have defined the curriculum for all Senior School students through the core skills and core knowledge for each year group.
