Lacon Childe School more than just a school

The P.E. department at Lacon Childe School are hard working and extremely enthusiastic about all things sporty, setting high standards for themselves and pupils.  We are committed to delivering a curriculum that provides pupils with key knowledge and understanding as well as developing skills and allowing students to challenge themselves. 

The teaching and learning environment is very positive and the curriculum we offer has a wide variety of activities giving pupils the opportunity to find something that they enjoy and can succeed in.  Our aim is for pupils to be competent in a broad range of activities and take part in competitive sports, in lessons and through extra curricular activities and competitions. We offer a full range of extra curricular activities, both at lunchtimes and after school, please click on this link for details: Spring Term Timetable

Assessment Overview:

KS3/4

All pupils are assessed using the 'Me in PE' criteria, assessments are split into four areas:

• Physical Me - the focus is on pupils’ ability to perform the core skills both in isolation and ever-demanding situations.
• Social Me - the focus is on pupils’ ability to work as part of a team, their leadership skills and the effectiveness of their communication with other pupils.
• Healthy Me - the focus is on pupils’ knowledge of health and what it means to be healthy. Knowledge of the body and activity levels are also assessed in this strand.
• Thinking Me - the focus is on pupils’ ability to solve problems, using different tactics in different situations in order to be successful. Pupils are also assessed on their ability to assess and evaluate others and provide feedback on their peer’s performance.
