At the Academy of St Francis of Assisi all students take part in Physical Education in the hope that in future years, continued participation will have a positive impact on their physical and mental health. We hope to encourage teamwork and resilience through diverse activities which will allow pupils to make progress at their own level. We aim to ensure that pupils; develop competency in a broad range of physical activities, are physically active for sustained periods of time in a way which supports health and fitness, develop an understanding of how physical activity can have a positive effect on their physical and mental wellbeing have the confidence and resilience to make mistakes and learn from them in order to progress in each area of physical education. Students will follow a range of activities, with the main aims being on skill development; sports education and leadership.
