PE

Students at The Park receive two hours of PE lesson time a week, in line with the National Curriculum.

The PE programme is designed to meet the needs of all our students and engage them in regular physical activity in a  positive, fun and enjoyable way.  The curriculum that we offer across all key stages is fully inclusive and varied and we aim to promote a lifelong interest in sport and exercise for our students during and beyond their time at school.  

Through their PE lessons, all of our students are encouraged to develop their confidence in a variety of sporting areas.  They are also required to make decisions, solve problems and demonstrate determination and resilience, while working at their own pace and level. 

In KS3, students experience a wide spectrum of sporting activities.  This allows them to learn and develop skills and teaches them how to work both independently and with others and in competitive and non-competitive situations. Students follow a fitness unit that allows them to understand the impact that physical activity has on their own health and why it is so important for their physical, mental and social well-being. 

The curriculum in KS4 is a continuation of skill acquisition and development, with the emphasis on knowing how to access sport and leisure opportunities for the future. We aim to allow students to experience activities which they otherwise may not have the chance to do elsewhere. We are fortunate to have a positive collaboration with Winston Churchill School in Woking where our students can make use of their excellent PE facilities and on-site fitness suite during PE lesson time. KS4 students continue to learn how fitness testing can help improve health, fitness and well-being and they have the opportunity to take on leadership roles where appropriate.  

As a special school with organised end of day transport, most inter and intra activities have to take place within school hours. We organise and take part in regular school fixtures and events where we can and we aim for all of our students to have the opportunity to take part in these during their time at The Park. We relish and take up opportunities to work with outside agencies such as British Orienteering, Woking Tennis Club and Surrey County Cricket and we have links to local inclusive clubs and sport providers where we can signpost students to join a sports club outside of school.
