The information below shows more about the teaching of PE at our school.
Numerous studies have shown that fit and healthy young people achieve the best results across the curriculum. Sport and physical activity helps teach us to rise to challenges and work both independently and cooperatively.
INTENT:
Our aim is to engage students in a healthy and active lifestyle in a range of sports and activities so that both physical and personal life skills are developed, and a lifelong exercise habit is established. We recognise the importance of Physical Education and the role it has to play in promoting long term, healthy lifestyles making a positive impact on physical, emotional, social health.
We strive to empower every child in developing the skills and qualities needed to thrive in life. The PE department focus is not just sport specific skills- but in tandem will concentrate on life learning skills, seen as transferable concepts, for example resilience.
Previous sports college funding secured our excellent facilities with access to an amazing sports centre and our own multipurpose performance enhancement centre (PEC). An extensive extra-curricular programme is available to all students after school. These clubs range from recreational fun to competitive leagues and tournaments.
Key Stage 3
In Key Stage 3 PE lessons, students develop their physical fitness, skills and techniques in a number of activities. Students will acquire a toolkit of skills which can be selected to improve performance and overcome opposition, as well as evaluating themselves and others. Students experience traditional invasion sports like Football, Rugby, Hockey and Netball as well as individual challenges like Swimming, Athletics, Tennis & Badminton.

Key Stage 4
In year 10 students follow a pathway suited to their abilities/competitiveness. Alternative sports such as Kinball and Handball are introduced, as well as greater opportunities to access the fitness suite are offered to broaden students’ life experience Finally to further prepare students for life outside school in year 11 student opt for activities much like they would at college and university or their own leisure time in the working world
Students studying BTEC PE will gain knowledge and understanding of fitness for sport and exercise; experience and practice sport at a higher level, gaining deeper knowledge of rules regulations and scoring systems and experience, plan and take part in training methods whilst gaining a greater understanding of the principles of training. We aim to equip examination PE students with the skill set required to successfully study further education either through A-level or Level 3 BTEC sport courses.
