“Exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, your attitude and your mood.”

Year 7

The Rationale

To provide an introduction to a broad range of sports and activities. Students will be provided with a platform to challenge and experience practical opportunities in order to develop personal, social, thinking, creative and physically active skills. At Kirkbie Kendal we intend to unlock every individuals potential by developing life-skills which act as a foundation to help all pupils becoming a well-rounded individual. Our curriculum aims to provide all pupils with opportunities to ‘believe in themselves’, ‘learn to learn’, ‘develop their own growth mind set’, ‘build aspirations and develop resilience’, ‘develop lifelong leadership skills’ and ‘make active lifestyle choices’.

Students will work on through a rotation during the year in order to cover all topics below. Pupils will participate in maximum of three different sports during one half term.
