Developing a life-long passion for physical activity and sport is our mission!
“Amity is for you, whether you aspire for elite level sport or simply participation. We aim to create confident, dynamic pupils who think creatively and possess the ability to make good decisions in both a sporting and whole school contexts.”
Mr. Matthew Miller, Director of Co-Curricular and Sports
Through School Approach
Engendering a through school approach (3-18), the curriculum transitions from foundation stages through to Sixth Form.
| Foundation Stage (Nursery & Reception) | Developing fundamental movement skills (FMS) through play and problem-solving situations |
| Key Stage 1 (Y1 & Y2) | Education of ‘why’ FMS are important and applying these to some basic games' situations |
| Key Stage 2 (Y3 to Y6) | Learning ‘how’ to train FMS and introducing formalised game scenarios and technical modelling |
| Key Stage 3 (Y7 to Y9) | Developing ownership of their own relationship with physical wellbeing and sport. Pupils will be responsible for RAMP warm ups and will experience sports that are related to physical themes such as netball and basketball (agility and movement skills), touch rugby and football (general movement and strength) and sailing (problem solving) to name but a few. |
| Key Stage 4 & 5 (Y10 to Y13) | Pupils experience an ‘alternative’ curriculum that starts to explore their own passions and provides choice to take ownership for their relationship with physical activity and sport. Pupils in year 11, 12 and 13 have additional opportunities to explore leadership qualifications and take on ‘coaching’ responsibilities of our younger pupils and external organisations. |
