All students receive lessons in Physical Education in Year 9, 10 and Year 11.  During lessons it is expected that students will:

• Demonstrate how to plan and prepare for their activity, improve their skills and performance, be able to evaluate their own and others’ performance.
• Develop their leadership skills, in order to take on a role such as a coach or an official.

Some of the activities include: Badminton, Football, Trampolining, Tennis, Handball, Fitness, Rounders, Athletics, Dance, Swimming, Dodgeball, Netball and many others. All PE lessons are compulsory and over a two year cycle students will cover at least two activities from the National Curriculum.

School Sports Teams and Clubs

Opportunities exist for students to participate in sports teams and clubs.  It is considered to be an honour to represent the school and our Colours for Sport recognise this achievement. Teams running include Football, Rugby, Netball, Badminton, Cricket and Rounders.

Qualification opportunities within core PE in Years 10 and 11 may include:

Sports Leaders Award Level 1

In Year 11 as part of the Physical Education course, some students will also have the opportunity to take part in the Sports Leaders Course.  This is a course run by the British Sports Trust which allows students to develop their skills and abilities in Leadership through Sport.  This is mostly a practical qualification in which students should demonstrate knowledge and understanding mainly through physical competence.  

The Sports Leaders’ Award provides a fun course for young people; it also gives them an insight into the enjoyment you can gain through sports leadership.  On top of this, it is a nationally recognised qualification.
