Physical Education

 
 

The fundamental objective of the Physical Education Department is to develop a lifelong understanding and passion for a Healthy Active Lifestyle, through physical activity and sport. Providing opportunity for students to develop physically, mentally and socially in an environment that produces healthier, happier young people who can achieve their potential.

Our PE curriculum enables every student to experience high quality PE that motivates them to be more human. The department will challenge and stimulate student’s bodies and minds to work together to achieve their goals, building courage, determination and dedication to succeed enabling students to perform under pressure when it matters. We will educate every individual to lead a healthy active lifestyle improving self-esteem whilst releasing endorphins that stimulate the Head, Heart and Hands. In PE we help to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, type 2 diabetes and levels of obesity. Finally, we will ensure that all students can continue to be successful in the world of sport through our extensive extra-curricular programme. 

Throughout our curriculum, students will analyse performance, plan effective strategies and tactics and provide constructive feedback to improve performance. Through a wide range of well-planned and sequenced practical lessons, students will master skills, develop their techniques, whilst going the extra mile to ensure their peers and teammates are ready to perform alongside them. Students will strive to dream crazy and perform to their full potential in the dance studio, sports hall, on the courts and out there on the field. They will dare to be the best and most exciting performer in any sporting situation.

Our KS3 curriculum will also prepare students for what lies ahead, developing their knowledge and understanding of key academic content. All in anticipation of choosing Physical Education as an academic pathway at GCSE, Applied and A level.

Students are taught by highly trained and skilled staff who have a passion for their subject area and dedicate their time to developing a thriving and successful learning environment. A culture where students will learn the value of failure and the feeling of success.
