Vision

Our vision ‘Life in all its fullness’ is taken from the book of John and these words were spoken by Jesus. At St Aidan's, every pupil is valued and has a rightful place within our community. We recognise that every individual is unique and has different skills, talents and abilities. We are committed to ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to thrive in their own distinctive way. Our aim is to ensure that all members of our school community achieve their full God given potential academically, socially, personally and spiritually. This is what Jesus wanted: for us to live life to the full.

Physical Education

Curriculum Overview

PE Vision

At St Aidan’s CE Academy, we believe that Physical Education and school sport contributes to the totality of the educational experience of pupils. Physical, personal, social, moral, spiritual, cultural, and emotional development are enhanced by the extracurricular experiences that make up our broad and balanced Physical Education curriculum. In addition, expression, communication, appreciation, and understanding are developed. Physical Education provides a range of experiences that form the basis for lifelong sporting and recreational activity which inspires pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities.

PE should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically literate, confident and develop resilience in a way which supports their health, fitness, mental health and well-being.

Opportunities to compete in sport, leadership and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. Structured work in Physical Education develops from the way many pupils enjoy exploring their own environment and physical abilities through practical and reflective work.

Our aim is to offer a curriculum which enriches pupils and leads to life-long participation and knowledge of sport, exercise and health
