Physical education is strong department with a well-rounded team of staff, who offer expertise in a number of different curriculum areas. PE is a core subject throughout key stage 3 and 4 and is also offered at examination level at KS4 for those students wishing to expand upon their knowledge of a broad range of PE and sports topics. Core PE encompasses a wide variety of sports including but not limited to, football, basketball, netball, rugby, hockey, badminton, trampolining, swimming, OAA, athletics, tennis, rounders and golf to name a few. Examination PE currently consists of a choice between the GCSE or vocational VCert qualification.  Both pathways include knowledge on body systems, methods of training, nutrition, components of fitness, health and wellbeing, performance enhancing drugs and healthy lifestyles. Each pathway currently has an exam, with the GCSE having 2 papers, as well as a practical assessment.

We aim to offer students a positive experience in PE so they can achieve enjoyment through exercise.  This will then hopefully lead to them leading healthy, active lifestyle.
