SMSC and British Values
|
Spiritual: PE and sport encourages the development of personal values and beliefs and an understanding of feelings and emotions by; attending different sporting events both at School and other establishments, and also supports building confidence and resilience by the competitive nature of some fixtures we attend. Moral: We encourage recognising right and wrong and play games and sports that have rules, which we teach, and play to. We also encourage the expression and development of personal views and opinions in PE lessons through the questioning of our pupil’s. Cultural: Our pupil’s develop culturally through sport by; exploring and respecting diversity in the sports we play. Social: We develop our pupil’s socially through sport by attending fixtures against pupils from other Schools, playing competitive and semi competitive matches during lessons and giving opportunity to play sport during play times. This gives our pupil’s the opportunities to use and develop social skills, to cooperate and resolve conflicts with others and to be part of a team. British values: We encourage British values in all that we do in PE at Winchelsea. We do this in a number of ways, such as; encouraging democracy and the rule of law with everybody having a voice (through the sports council) and the right to play a fair game. |
Organisation
Several staff teach PE across the school led by the PE coordinator Mr A. Dunnachie.
The curriculum involves differentiated delivery for all curriculum areas and runs from our EYFS class through to Year 11. In KS 4 pupils take accreditations.
Throughout the whole school, all pupils take part in ‘Wake up Shake up’ for 15 minutes, five mornings a week. This involves a variety of structured activities including; wake and shake cardio and dance, run/walk around the field, high intensity interval training (HIIT) and a variety of class based yoga exercise activities.
We are also extremely lucky to have an outside gym, which is used by pupils during wake and shake, at playtimes and during certain lessons. This is also used for some pupils as part of their behavioural support programmes.
Curriculum Support
On Tuesday and Thursday mornings we have two targeted pupil groups. Tuesday groups focus is to develop motor skills, PE enjoyment and engagement, and hand eye coordination. Our Thursday group supports our gifted and talented pupils by developing skills in specific areas, often building up to a competitive fixture we have approaching with the team representing Winchelsea.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our pupil’s to work with other pupils and experience competitive sport in a calm and supportive environment, it is also great preparation for Regional and School Games competitions.
Celebrating National Sports week
Each summer we mark national sports week by having a week of sport and experiences for all pupils. The activities are fully inclusive and provide opportunities for pupils to experience sports that may not ordinarily appear on our curriculum. It is a very successful week and engagement within the activities is always very high.
During the week we hold our annual primary/secondary sports day and our sports experience for our younger pupils.
Special events: We mark special events at Winchelsea and have held several sporting events to raise money for charities. These events have included; everyone at Winchelsea running/walking a mile for sport relief, a staff v pupils cricket match and football matches for UNICEF awareness.
Lunchtime sports: We encourage pupils to remain active during breaks and lunchtime play. To this end we have AFC Bournemouth come in and deliver football sessions on the field for both our primary and secondary pupils in 6 week blocks. We also offer a range of sport on the playground ranging from basketball to boccia.
Yoga Programme: We have had extensive support with our Yoga programme from an external provider, which supported OT or Physiotherapy programmes as well as pupils with mental-health and well-being. The school will continue to develop this with staff in school leading the sessions.
