By the time students finish their physical education at Imberhorne we hope that students:
- have enjoyed a broad and varied curriculum and experienced a wide variety of new and familiar sports. With luck, students will continue to play sport and exercise into adulthood
- have had an opportunity to take part in competitive situations which develop personal skills such as teamwork, leadership, resilience, communicating with others, showing empathy towards others, critical thinking, overcoming fears, not being afraid to take risks, organisation, self-discipline, commitment and taking responsibility for their own self-improvement
- have a greater understanding about the effects of exercise on the body, both physically and mentally, and that they know how to maintain good health in a safe and efficient way
- appreciate the skills, rules, tactics and aesthetics of sport and dance and that they can transfer some skills from one sport to another
- learn the fundamental motor skills that enable them to develop the competence that creates confidence and leads to safe and successful participation in a wide range of sports
- learn fair play, honest competition, good sportsmanship and correct etiquette in sport
- develop an understanding and appreciation of the vocabulary of sport and physical education (transitions, gastrocnemius, choreography, specificity etc) to, in turn, increase their own vocabularies
- some students use their skills in the workplace and become employed in the sporting community whilst others may reach the very highest levels of professional sport
