Sport plays a vital role in the development of our young people at The Rowans. Providing them with opportunities to participate in a variety of exciting physical and sporting activities, through competitive and challenging situations.
Pupils increase their ability and confidence to perform as individuals and as part of a team, as well as developing their leadership skills through coaching and officiating. Sport at The Rowans also allows Pupils to become more resilient.
At The Rowans we are extremely fortunate to be able to offer four hours core PE to each year group. We have developed exciting curriculums for both KS3 and KS4, that allows all pupils regardless of ability to engage and make progress.
BTEC Sport Level 1/2
At KS4 pupils have the chance to study BTEC Sport level two.
BTEC Sport focuses on the theory behind sport, along with some practical elements. Throughout the academic year, pupils will complete three internal units, unit 2, unit 3 and unit 5, as well as one exam.
Gaining a BTEC Sport Level 2 qualification paves the way for pupils to study BTEC Sport Level 3 at college, leading to job opportunities within the sport industry or further education at university.
ASDAN Sport and Fitness
Another option KS4 pupils have the chance to study is ASDAN Sports and Fitness. This is a flexible short course, that aums to develop personal, social and physical skills through a range of sports and fitness activities. Whilst studying pupils build confidence, foster a healthy lifestyle and gain life skills like teamwork and leadership. Module include Sports Participation, Health, Fitness, and Nutrition and Coaching and Officiating.
PE Kit
All pupils are expected to follow school policy and wear the stated PE kit. PE kit can be purchased from the school office.
Pupils may wear a black sweatshirt/halfzip and tracksuit bottoms during the colder periods. Appropriate footwear must be worn for PE at all times.
Extra-curricular Activities
Within the department, we offer a range of extra-curricular activities, changing each term, such as table tennis, girls’ gym and athletics.
We have both KS3 and KS4 football teams who train after school and play fixtures against other schools in Medway.
Within the department we also offer a range of enrichment opportunities, including trips to Ballerz and local sporting venues.
