PE at Mascalls Academy: We have designed our curriculum using the KS3 National Curriculum and it is delivered under the framework of the IB Middle Years programme. We have also referenced the KS2 Programmes of Study in our initial planning.

The PE Department at Mascalls Academy aims to develop students’ physical ability and understanding of skills, techniques, strategies and communication. We aim to develop their ability and understanding in a wide range of physical activities, either individual or group activities, associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle. We also aim to develop students’ confidence and broad skills, especially those of risk taking, being open minded, well balanced and reflective. These, together with the development of positive values and attitudes in PE, provide a good foundation for students’ lifelong learning.

At KS4 and KS5, examinations PE students explore human Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition and Diet manipulation, Sport Psychology, Sociocultural factors affect how they perform and participation, plus many more. This broad curriculum content allows students to become masters in a number of different sporting aspects allowing for endless opportunities in the Sport industry. Our students not only learn this valuable content but they are provided opportunities to lead, coach, feel inspired and develop their independent study, preparing them for further education and careers in the Sport Industry.

We enthusiastically encourage all students from all key stages to partake in extra-curricular clubs in a range of different sports to ensure a range of skills are being developed. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests and follow their passions by taking up the many extra-curricular activities on offer. Our extra-curricular programme is central to being part of the school community as well as having the opportunity to represent the school in both inter college fixtures, local league fixtures as well as Kent Cup fixtures. We firmly believe this enriches and broadens the educational opportunities open to all students.

​​​​​​​This is a permanent position offering MPS commensurate with experience.

Mascalls Academy is a secondary school at the heart of the community and our small school model ensures that each and every student gets the personal support and challenge they need to reach their full potential. The academy is divided into four colleges – Shackleton, Earhart, Luther King and Marie Curie Sixth Form College each having their own personality and range of specialisms, allowing them to be unique.

Mascalls Academy is a high achieving institution. Our most recent Ofsted inspection notes “ambitious leadership has established an ethos where staff are committed to driving standards up”, that Mascalls is a “happy place to be” and that “staff feel valued”. Our judgement that we are a ‘Good’ school with ‘Outstanding’ leadership and behaviour is accurate. It is our vision to become ‘Outstanding’ in every category.

Mascalls Academy is a dynamic and exciting place to work and the fantastic leadership team are committed to making it great for people at all stages in their careers. Our building and facilities are a mix of designs with two new buildings being modern, light and airy giving the academy a unique and special character.

Values

“Our values decide our character; our character decides our value.” James Kerr.

Personal discipline

  • Respect – for self and others
  • Determination – to succeed
  • Resilience – a commitment to personal development in spite of setbacks

Personal discipline is not expecting somebody else to do your job for you.  It teaches you not to expect things handed to you and even sometimes, in order to succeed, to do things now when you really ‘want to do it tomorrow’.

At Mascalls personal discipline underpins our character, we value respect, determination and resilience and understand that the combination of those characteristics, applied daily make success a repeatable experience.

Vision

Personal development

  • High expectations – of self and of others
  • Continual improvement – steps to success
  • Celebrate success – big or small

We are all caretakers of our legacy, as students continue their journey with us they are encouraged to build on the successes of our past and aspire to new standards for our future.   Students and staff, as leaders, drive and insist on an environment which promotes the behaviours needed for success at school and beyond.   At Mascalls we create a culture for personal development – through high expectations, a commitment to continual improvement and through celebrating our many successes. We celebrate our achievements and learn from our mistakes knowing that our collective character drives culture, our reputation and turns it into something we can be proud of.
