PE

At Orchards we believe that pupils develop competence and excellence in a broad range of activities with an ambitious curriculum offer. Our pupils are physically active during physical education lessons and they have opportunities to extend their activity levels during extra curricular clubs and in the wider community.  Links to careers in sport and the physical activity sector are referenced throughout. Lessons are sequenced so that skills and techniques are reinforced and revisited across different scenarios, feedback is given to students to develop performance and understanding of technique and strategies used in the activity. Orchards Academy pupils engage in healthy competition at intra and inter school competition. We encourage our  pupils to lead active and healthy lifestyles that support positive physical and mental health.
