About Mount Grace:
Mount Grace is a traditional, mixed comprehensive school occupying 20 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. We are a rapidly improving, truly inclusive school with approximately 600 students including over 100 in the Sixth Form. We have a genuine partnership with local people and we are the community school of Potters Bar and the surrounding villages. Every student is offered a varied, personalised curriculum and will be challenged to achieve their full potential.
Physical Education Vision Statement
PE is a vital part of school life and ultimately children’s future physical and emotional well-being. It is therefore our intent to provide an inclusive, broad and balanced PE curriculum that ensures ALL children will benefit, whether through enhancing existing skills, learning new skills or being introduced to new sports, clubs, teams and organisations.
The curriculum at Mount Grace School is broad and diverse to ensure that ALL students feel success and develop a love of sport and exercise for which we know if developed in their formative years will help them make positive, lifelong lifestyle choices. The PE curriculum offers our pupils the opportunity to experiment, investigate, observe and to discover for themselves, various principles and methods of training and exercise. This understanding will prepare them for when they have to make health and fitness related decisions in their future.
As well as developing fitness, core skills and tactical awareness through various sporting activities and exercise, the PE curriculum is a vehicle for building strong character. Students are required to develop determination, resilience and courage when tackling new physical challenges as well developing empathy, compassion and critical thinking when taking on leadership and coaching roles. These character virtues are explicitly taught throughout the PE curriculum. We intend to develop a variety of character virtues by exposing students to challenges outside of their comfort zone.
