Our Physical Education Curriculum is designed to promote life-long health and encourage key life skills, whilst providing equal opportunity to participate in a diverse range of sports. We focus on two life skills per term, covering skills such as: Evaluation, Integrity, Communication, Responsibility, Empathy and Collaboration. These skills are then embedded into an expansive and broad range of sports, creating invaluable links between sports, subjects and personal development. This not only prepares students for a life after education, but also fosters key attributes to make them into aspirational, confident and competent individuals. We believe unequivocally that every student has the capacity to succeed in PE, using our Head, Heart Hands approach to assessment. Our Head Heart Hands methodology encompasses not only the physical skill aspect of a sport, but also the ability to articulate knowledge, rules and execute decision-making. This is then showcased in friendly intra school competitions and inter-school fixtures, where students can demonstrate their, knowledge, character and skill.  

We offer an extensive range of extracurricular clubs to encourage life-long participation and love of sport and exercise. These additional opportunities to participate in sport link directly to our school values to persevere when we find something challenging, to unite with others that share a common and to use innovation to find creative solutions to problems and overcome obstacles. It is also here that we can further nurture and develop students’ confidence and self-belief which will carry them forward through school life.
