Physical Education

Home > Departments > Physical Education

“Victory isn’t defined by wins or losses. It is defined by effort. If you can truthfully say, ‘I did the best I could, I gave everything I had,’ then you’re a winner.” – Wolfgang Schadler

The Physical Education Department at RSA Academy Arrow Vale is an ‘Outstanding’ department that is very well received by students. This, as well as our outstanding facilities, allows us to focus upon helping drive achievement and standards up in PE and across the curriculum as a whole.

Redditch Schools Sports Partnership

RSA Academy Arrow Vale works closely with our partner middle and first schools to enhance sporting opportunities and is at the centre of collaboration between all schools in the district and has ensured access is available for all pupils to increase their participation in competitive and recreational sport.

RSA Academy Arrow Vale has been the base for the Redditch Schools Sports Partnership which was established 13 years ago. This has now evolved into RSA Academy Arrow Vale becoming the strategic lead for the ‘School Games’. This partnership is working with all 42 schools, sports clubs and communities in Redditch to increase and enhance their PE and School Sports opportunities for all young people.

The Partnership has successfully promoted intra and inter-school competition in first, middle and high schools, whilst also developing strong links with the sporting community and local clubs. It has had great success in raising sports participation levels with 60% of all pupils now actively involved in school sport, and 100% involved in intra-school sport.

Arrow Vale PE department has been the hub site for the local Leadership Academy and Multi-Skills Academy, and supports Gifted and Talented athletes through the Junior Athlete Education programme. The department also provides opportunities for our students to work as young leaders and gain accredited qualifications such as Junior Sports Leaders’ Award and the Community Sports Leaders’ Award.

Director of Learning and Standards – Sport/PE

Mr Niall Brennan

Year 9

We offer a diverse and exciting core PE curriculum that meets the physical, emotional and social needs of all our students. In year 9 students participate in blocks of learning that focus on developing key concepts of sports – both traditional and modern. Throughout the year students have opportunities to participate in activities such as Mountain Biking, BMXing, Archery, Fencing as well as all of the more traditional sporting activities.

Key Stage 4

In Year 10 and 11 students choose pathways of learning depending on the type of person they are.  They can choose from aesthetic sports such as dance, gymnastics or more invasion sports – such as basketball and football.  Students can also choose coaching/officiating routes.

Our exam subjects for 2015/2016  include the qualifications:

Level 2

  • Edexcel GCSE PE – Full Course A* – G
  • OCR GCSE Health and Social Care

Key Stage 5

Our Sixth Form students also have a large array of course to choose from. This includes:

Level 3

  • Edexcel BTEC Nationals Level 3 : Extended Diploma in Sport
  • AQA AS and A2 PE
  • OCR A Level Health and Social Care – Single and Double

Our Sixth Form students also have a large number of enrichment activities, and over recent years the Sixth Form student have been the hub of our successful Leadership Academy with many of our students regularly running lunch time and afterschool clubs both at Arrow Vale and our feeder schools.

Enrichment

Extra-Curricular and Enrichment Activities

The PE department is committed to innovation and the raising of standards and developing our young learners. As well as delivering an exciting PE curriculum students are offered a vast array of enrichment activities to develop and broaden their skills. These include the Duke of Edinburgh Award which is offered at all levels from year 9 to year 13; a number of our students now train as Expedition leaders through the BELA award; Coaching qualifications such as Junior Football Organisers Award and Badminton Leaders Award. We offer coaching courses for students to become leaders and have opportunities in our feeder schools.

The school is succeeding in District, County and National competitions in a range of sports. Our under-16 girls’ football team have had a lot of success in recent years winning both the Redditch and Bromsgrove High School League and the County Schools Cup Final two years in a row. We cater for students of all abilities, including those with disabilities; in recent years our students qualified for the National Wheelchair Basketball finals. Our extra-curricular calendar is busy all year through. As well as offering all of the traditional sports, students participate and compete in alternative sports such as, Rowing, Spinning, Dancercise, Boxercise and Skate boarding. Students also have the opportunity to train with external professionals such as the Worcestershire Warriors for Rugby, Worcestershire County Cricket and Redditch Trampoline club.

Facilities

We have tremendous facilities that cannot be matched in the area – these include a large multi-use sports hall, modern dance studio, gymnastics hall, 6 tennis courts, two large fields, an astro pitch, a fitness suite, a state of the art iGym and a Sports Science Laboratory. These facilities give our students and staff the best possible chance to succeed as learners and educators respectively. All staff use iPads in lessons to help engage students and make learning more focused particularly in terms of sports analysis. The department has an active Twitter account (@ArrowValePe). Please read and follow this for a greater insight into this excellent department.

SMSC in Performing Arts

As an active member of Sainsbury’s School Games and having achieved the school games gold kitemark for high levels of commitment to the development of competition across school and the community. Our department are proud to deliver all of our lessons with a clear focus of

‘The Spirit of the Games Values’ which focus on personal excellence through competition. The six values are passion, belief, respect, determination, honesty and teamwork. These values were developed by young people to identify what the experience of school sport should be built around. These values have been successfully applied to all of our lessons to develop a range of behaviours, qualities and inter-personal skills with our students based on sporting experiences, scenarios and attitudes. ‘The Spirit of the Games’ supports and is underpinned by the schools SMSC statement.

Spiritual Development in PE

During the range of activities that students participate in, whether core PE lessons, BTEC Sport lessons, exam subjects or extra-curricular PE sessions students develop a sense of enjoyment and fascination in learning about themselves, others and the world around them. Students are consistently encouraged to use their imagination and creativity in their learning, and showcase a willingness to reflect on their experiences.

Moral Development in PE

PE in general teaches students about code of conduct, etiquette, handshake before and after matches, applauding the opposition, fair play, unwritten rules and sportsmanship. In every lesson students abide by the rules and regulations, gaining a good understanding of rules of sport and the importance of infringements such as penalties and red cards allow students to understand the consequences of their actions which in turn helps students apply this understanding to their own lives.

The concepts of self-discipline to excel are essential. Students are taught that the only way you can achieve in sport to a high standard is if you work hard and if you can discipline yourself to train and apply yourself.

  • Dame Kelly Homes Trust fundraising activities

An interest in, and understanding of, the way communities and societies function at a variety of levels.
