Mission Statement of Sperrin PE Department
​
At Sperrin College, we believe that Physical education and sport have a vital role to play in the social, moral, spiritual and cultural development of our pupils. Physical education and sport are an important feature in the life of our school in that they give our pupils the tools they need to be able to make positive and responsible choices that will impact on their own health and well-being, now and in the future.

We aim to do this by following a professional, safe working, child centred approach that embraces inclusivity, integration and an all ability ethos.

The physical activity curriculum in Sperrin College aims to provide pupils with the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sports and physical activities carried out in a safe and supportive environment where effort, hard work, sportsmanship, success, and excellence are equally celebrated. Therefore, we aim to give the pupils the opportunities to increase their self confidence and self-esteem by managing themselves and their capabilities both within and outside the classroom environment.
 
We aim to enable our pupils to:
  • See PE as a major feature in their lives in relation to health and well being
  • Understand the role of exercise in a healthy active lifestyle
  • Understand the short and long term effects of exercise on the body
  • Develop a wide range of personal skills such as perseverance & co-operation
  • To be able to work as part of a team in varied activities in group activities and as part of school teams
To do this we employ teaching methods and lessons that are effective and challenge the pupils to have high expectations and open success pathways that allow excellence and success to be achieved by each individual pupil irrespective of gender, ethnic origin, academic ability, Special Educational Needs or religious background.
