The purpose of the Little Lever PE curriculum is to have a high-quality curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. We provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness. The opportunities we provide for the students to compete in sport and other activities help build character and embed values such as fair play, respect and etiquette.
Key Stage 4
We will enable them to tackle complex and demanding physical activities. They will be involved in a range of activities to develop personal fitness and promote an active, healthy lifestyle.
