AIMS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT Futures Institute
At Futures Institute we believe that the Physical Education Programme should be broad, balanced and provide for all individual needs, promoting a healthy lifestyle and lifelong involvement in being active.
Physical Education at Futures aims to develop the whole person physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and aesthetically. We believe it should allow the opportunity to play, perform and evaluate theirs and others’ performance in a safe and enjoyable environment.
What are we studying?
During the year, pupils will be given the opportunity to experience the following activities:
Football –In this unit, pupils will focus on ball familiarisation and moving with the ball, passing and receiving, defending and defensive tactics, attacking principles of play, shooting and small-sided game play. Pupils will also get to experience competitive match opportunities through our extra curricular provision.
Rugby –This unit of work focuses on evasive running, passing and receiving, tackling, attacking principles of play, rucking and mauling, kicking and small sided competitive game play. Through the Rugby unit, we also look to instil and develop some brilliant core values in our pupils including teamwork, sportsmanship and discipline. This unit can also be adapted to tag rugby for the mixed groups.
Netball – Netball is a fast paced and highly competitive sport. During this unit pupils will explore and develop the skills of ball handling, identifying space, movement, attacking principles of play, defensive principles, positional play and competitive game play.
Hockey –This unit will focus on dribbling, passing and receiving, tackling, attacking principles of play, defensive principles, identifying and exploiting space, shooting and small-sided competitive game play.

We have lots of opportunity for inter school athletics fixtures both outside on the track and indoor.
