Diversity
KS1 – Lessons are co-educational and students are expected to take part in mixed gendered teams/ groups
in all activities. Games lessons in KS1 are taught by external coaches, both of which are male, providing a
sporting role model of a different gender for students in this key stage. We make a conscious effort to
challenge misconceptions and stereotypes in sport and physical activity through discussions.
KS2 – Lessons are co-educational and students are expected to take part in mixed gendered teams/ groups
in all activities. We make a conscious effort to challenge misconceptions and stereotypes in sport and
physical activity through discussions.
KS3 & 4 - We have a number of displays in senior school celebrating females in sport; Careers in sport
display depicting a number of successful women in a wide variety of sports-based careers; equality,
diversity and inclusion in sport display; Women’s football display in B3; Female cyclist display in B3. We
make a conscious effort to challenge misconceptions and stereotypes in sport and physical activity through
discussions.
GCSE PE - We ensure that a wide variety of names are used in example exam questions; We use a wide
variety of sporting examples within topics that represent the diverse community in which we teach (eg.
Both male and female sportspeople from a variety of races, backgrounds, religions, sexuality, disability etc),
not only to allow our students to relate to those people used in examples, but also to develop an
awareness of the breadth of people involved in sport; We make a conscious effort to challenge
misconceptions and stereotypes in sport and physical activity through discussions.
