 academically, spiritually and physically.

 respect for themselves and others and are able to thrive.

 and multicultural society in which we live.

 quality  access to physical activity.

Sports College Mission Statement
 

• Cheslyn Hay Academy is currently at the centre of local community sport as it forms part of
 a joint user agreement with South Staffordshire District Council and this will be developed through greater provision
 for Adult Education in courses related to Physical Education and Sport.
• The school currently has a thriving Physical Education department which produces high levels of attainment with all
 ages and all abilities. This will be further enhanced through the structured professional development of all staff.
• Through continually developing links with community partners, opportunities and provision for participation at all
 levels of Sport will be increased.
• All pupils will follow an accredited course in Physical Education and Sport, and this will be instrumental in
 encouraging students to pursue both careers in the subject and healthy lifestyles.
• At Cheslyn Hay we believe that all pupils should be able to access ICT and as such all pupils will utilise a wide
 range of technology related to Physical Education and Sport through the latest ‘virtual’ and interactive software.
• Pupils at Cheslyn Hay Academy will be encouraged to review their own progress and set
 themselves targets based on Individual Activity Plans. This will encourage the pupils to become independent
 learners with responsibility for their own progress.
