Key Stage 3 curriculum:
PE and Games at Fulston Manor develops pupils’ competence and confidence to take part in a range of physical activities that become a central part of their lives, both in and out of school.
Our high-quality PE curriculum enables all pupils to enjoy and succeed in many kinds of physical activity. They develop a wide range of skills and the ability to use tactics, strategies and compositional ideas to perform successfully. When they are performing, they think about what they are doing, analyse the situation and make decisions. They also reflect on their own and others’ performances and find ways to improve them. As a result, they develop the confidence to take part in different physical activities and learn about the value of healthy, active lifestyles. Discovering what they like to do, what their aptitudes are at school, and how and where to get involved in physical activity helps them make informed choices about lifelong physical activity.
PE and Games at Fulston Manor helps pupils develop personally and socially. They work as individuals, in groups and in teams, developing concepts of fairness and of personal and social responsibility. They take on different roles and responsibilities, including leadership, coaching and officiating. Through the range of experiences that PE and Games offers, they learn how to be effective in competitive, creative and challenging situations.

All clubs are supervised by a member of the PE department or a suitably proficient member of staff or coach.
The PE department offers a diverse range of extra curricular clubs that pupils can attend during the academic year. These include football, table tennis, netball, basketball, rounders, rowing, tennis, athletics, dodgeball, cricket, judo and archery.
Inter-House and Inter-School fixtures are arranged throughout the school year to nurture a competitive element into the development of each pupil. Fixtures take place after school usually within the Swale district. The PE department also competes in county competitions in a range of sports.
