Curriculum Intent

At Nottingham Academy, we offer an extensive and inclusive Physical Education curriculum that promotes a healthy, active lifestyle. Our curriculum encompasses both Core PE and an academic program, aiming to inspire and motivate all students to believe in their potential for success at the Academy.

Physical Education is central to our Academy, playing a crucial role in developing students’ character and life skills. This is achieved through the integration of the Respect Values in all aspects of the curriculum. We aim to support students in making positive choices both at the Academy and within their wider community.

Students have access to a wide range of physical activities and sporting opportunities as part of an extensive extra-curricular program. These activities allow students to participate either competitively or for enjoyment, fostering a love for physical activity.

We recognise the importance of Physical Education and the pivotal role it plays in the personal and social wellbeing of our students. This commitment drives us to ensure that all students at Nottingham Academy have a positive experience in Physical Education and school sports.

Our ultimate aim is to ensure that all students develop a positive attitude towards lifelong participation in physical activity.

Adaptations for students with SEND needs include differentiated instruction and resources tailored to diverse learning requirements. We incorporate visual aids, interactive activities, and technology to enhance understanding and engagement. Regular assessments and personalised feedback ensure all students know more, remember more, and do more. By focusing on these principles, we aim to ensure every student can excel and thrive in Physical Education, gaining more knowledge, retaining it effectively, and applying it confidently.
