Physical Education
‘Sport teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose – it teaches you about life.’ – Billie Jean King
At Concordia Academy, we aim to inspire all children to develop a love of physical activity and sport. We believe that curricular and extra-curricular sport plays a vital role in the development of children into active, well-rounded members of society. Through good physical education, whole school values and a whole child approach, we aim to nurture confident, resilient children who will strive for their personal best and have a deep-rooted understanding of how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. To ensure all children have access to high quality teaching, we employ specialist coaches to team teach with staff who need support or want to improve their own practice.
We listen to our children’s wants and needs and provide them with a range of before and after school sports clubs. We aim to provide those who excel in and show great enthusiasm for sport an opportunity to represent the school and compete against children from other schools and backgrounds. We take part in inter-school competitions arranged through our partnership with Havering Sports Collective. We encourage our children to take pride in representing the school and expect them to show sportsmanship and dignity in victory or in defeat. We want to aid our children in obtaining the values and skills to celebrate and respect the success of others, as well as modestly celebrating their own successes. We want our children to play sport outside of school and we do our best to encourage our families to do this through our links with local clubs such as West Ham Football Club and other partnerships within our community.
