The P.E. Department aims to provide every opportunity to assist the physical, mental and social development of all our students through a broad range of activities, with the belief of encouraging all of our students to develop a lifelong interest in regular physical activity and the personal benefits this brings.

Lessons are focused on providing students with the opportunities to experience personal success as well as understanding what they need to do to further develop and improve their own skill and performance levels.

To allow all students to achieve in Physical Education the curriculum is broad and varied in its content whilst still following National Curriculum guidelines. As well as the traditional activities such as Football, Rugby, Netball, Hockey, Cricket and Athletics students also have the opportunity to experience Table Tennis, Short Tennis, Golf, Volleyball, Dance, Badminton, Gymnastics and Health Related Fitness.

These opportunities are only possible due to the extensive facilities provided by the school :-

The staff within the P.E. Department are all specialists and are dedicated to ensuring that each lesson is a positive experience for our students. All staff teach across the gender and age range up until the end of Year 11.

As well as providing all of our students with the required 2 hours of curriculum time P.E. the Department also provides them with a range of academic courses operating across Key Stages 4 & 5.
 

All students are expected to complete a certificate course in KS4 whether it is a Level 2 Btec in Sport or GCSE P.E. Students can choose to continue their studies Post-16 with either a Level 3 Btec in Sport or AS Level PE. To allow these courses to be successful the department has 2 fully equipped, dedicated PE classrooms with interactive whiteboards.
 

After school both specialist and non-specialist teachers offer opportunities for students to get involved in a range of sports and activities. School teams play in local and county league and cup competitions as well as regional athletic and golf events. Our goal is to provide students with every opportunity to further develop and demonstrate their talents and abilities.
