Physical Education
Curriculum Intent
At Grace Academy Coventry, we deliver a high quality, knowledge rich curriculum that aims to challenge all students, through a happy, safe and enjoyable environment. This allows students to develop into enthusiastic learners who can ultimately develop a lifelong love of sport and physical activity.
The facilities available at Grace Academy are high class, which allows our students to gain a secure knowledge of a variety of sports and an understanding of what a healthy active lifestyle consists of and the different roles that are available in Physical Education. This is reinforced through our enrichment timetable and fixtures where we promote students to develop their academic, cultural, mental and moral compass whilst still encouraging a competitive edge.
Through our key stage four and five curriculum, students learn how to analyse and evaluate performance and develop their leadership skills, as well as understanding the concepts of fitness training and programming. Our curriculum enables students to discover and develop knowledge and equips them with the progressive routes and successive careers in the sports industry.
