Physical Education Department

The PE department is committed to developing an enthusiasm and passion for sport. We aim to develop pupils’ understanding and appreciation of sport through participation, analysis and enjoyment. All pupils have enormous potential: it is the goal of each member of the PE department to enable pupils to improve their skills, fitness and physical capabilities. Although having successful school teams is seen as important by many, developing as yet untapped potential is and always will be the real wonder of physical education.

Pupils are taught a wide range of sports from the traditional to the not so well known. The curriculum is delivered by our well qualified P.E staff with occasional input from outside specialist coaches.

Facilities are good. We have a range of outdoor pitches, tennis and netball courts, a large sports hall, a gymnasium and fitness suite. Pupils are encouraged to participate in a wide range of lunchtime and after school activities which enhance and complement the curriculum. Inter form and inter school sports fixtures are enjoyed as an extension of such activities. The school continues to enjoy success in district, regional and national competitions.

Leadership skills are developed specifically in Year 10 where pupils are given the option to follow the Sports Leader Award.

GCSE P.E. is an increasingly popular option at KS4.
