Cultural Capital
We have adapted our approach to PE to ensure that we give children experiences within sport, that they would not normally have. We have been fortunate to ensure we give children the skills, knowledge and language to perform PE to the highest standard..
We expose children to new sports such as Hockey, Boccia and Gymnastics. These are sports that our children wouldn’t normally be exposed to on a daily basis. We also want to promote a healthy lifestyle and give our children opportunities to attend after-school provision. We run half-termly clubs where children have the chance to access high-quality clubs linked to Cheerleading, Multisports and Indoor Athletics. Over the past year, we are now seeing more children accessing out-of-school provision and showcasing their achievements in celebration assembly.
We always want to give our children the chance to represent school. This is a massive step for many of our children, as they have never had the opportunity to represent teams in competitive sport. This year alone, over 120 children have already represented school in sports such as basketball, football, tag-rugby, cross country and netball. They have also accessed other sports competitions across Willow Tree Academy.
