Physical Education (Core)
Following the guidelines of the National Curriculum, the PE department aim to provide an opportunity for every student to experience high quality PE that motivates them to be more active; developing a lifelong understanding of how to lead a healthy active lifestyle through physical activity and sport.

Fitness
Invasion games
Net/wall
Striking and fielding
Gymnastics
Athletics
DEPARTMENT STRENGTHS AND RESOURCES
The department is extremely well resourced and lessons are taught by experienced and well qualified staff. The practical spaces and activity studio are state of the art. The department offers a variety of opportunities to develop students’ physical attributes through the extra-curricular programme.
HOW STUDENTS WILL BE ASSESSED
Students will be assessed against our Head, Heart and Hands PE Curriculum which runs in line with the GCSE PE practical assessment. A grade will be generated from the student’s top four sporting activities over the year.
PROGRESSION ROUTES
Our focus is to nurture each individual student so they can lead a healthy active lifestyle. This will enable them to progress in life with the ability to work as a team, and with excellent leadership and problem solving skills, to bounce back from failure, and to embrace success. PE provides numerous opportunities and transferable skills in both education and the workplace.
