Connect with Your Greatness: The PE curriculum at Oaktree promotes growth across each of the three journeys, supporting students in developing meaningful connections with themselves, their communities and the world.

Journey 1: in PE focuses on sensory exploration and active engagement, catering to non-specialist cohorts. Lessons centre on sensory equipment and learning through play, encouraging physical, sensory and cognitive development. Activities include sensory circuits, balance boards, trampolines, crawl tunnels and Zumba sessions. These are designed to improve coordination, balance and motor skills in an inclusive, engaging environment. The approach supports sensory development while fostering a sense of enjoyment and exploration.

Journey 2: introduces team-based activities and invasion games to promote collaboration, communication and problem-solving. Students participate in sports like tennis, basketball and cricket, fostering teamwork and developing key physical skills. Outdoor education plays a significant role, offering activities such as kayaking, caving, archery and rock climbing. These experiences build confidence and resilience. Partnerships with external organisations further enrich this journey, providing diverse opportunities for students to engage in adventurous and team-oriented challenges.

Journey 3: builds on previous skills, emphasising tactical awareness, positioning and sportsmanship. Lessons focus on understanding strategy, enhancing individual and team performance and exploring topics like nutrition and fitness. Partnerships with external organisations further enhance this journey, offering students opportunities to engage in more advanced, team-based activities that challenge their strategic thinking, collaboration and leadership skills. This journey aims to equip students with advanced knowledge of sport and health, fostering lifelong physical well-being.

Through these journeys, the PE curriculum at Oaktree empowers students to connect with their greatness by cultivating curiosity, resilience and a lifelong love of learning. Each journey reflects the school’s commitment to holistic development, ensuring every student thrives academically, socially and emotionally.
