Physical Education

At Al Karamah School, our ethos is very much about sport for everyone. We cater for all pupils, and for those who enjoy competitive games, we are one of the schools that specializes in the development of motor skills performance for autistic children as well as participation in the Special Olympics.

We firmly believe that all pupils deserve the opportunity to enjoy sport, regardless of their ability. By devoting time and attention to those who are less confident as well as to those with more experience, we develop life skills that bring resilience and success beyond school life.

Some of our students are very talented in different areas of sports. We encourage and make links with outside agencies in order to extend the skills of talented students. We take part in a wide range of sporting competitions within the community.

We offer a variety of sports skills and we focus on our main sports -football, basketball, hockey, badminton and swimming, as well as developing skills through team games and working together.

Within each subject studied in Little Champions lessons are very much planned around a student’s interests. This makes for a more personalised and individualized curriculum for each student. High adult support ratio within primary means that students can follow their own tailored programme that encompasses support for communication, sensory and behaviour needs within it.

We also offer swimming in Little Champions and to support we use a social story to talk to pupils about learning how to swim and what to expect at their swimming lesson, social stories are an effective way to get our pupils accustomed to the idea of taking swimming lessons as we use visuals to augment social story and continue the process of getting them used to the idea of swimming lessons.
