Deliver a high quality PE curriculum which promotes a healthy active lifestyle and lifelong participation. Students will develop their confidence and skill in a wide range of activities which enables them to succeed and excel in competitive situations and physical activities.

Our mission is to improve and increase the delivery of high quality Physical Education for students, to show how PE can enhance students’ attainment and achievement and to create pathways for them to continue to be active beyond school. Our PE curriculum is inclusive and ensures that students of all abilities access the range of activities we offer and that they are physically active for sustained periods of time in order to encourage them to lead healthy, active lives.

As a department we aim to ensure that all students develop the fundamental skills and competence to excel in a wide range of physical activities by providing a broad & balanced curriculum with opportunities for all to be enjoyed. Within these activities we aim to help students develop relevant skills, knowledge and understanding for future participation and vocations in sport and recreation. We have recently made a conscious effort to remove gender specificity within PE. Girls will be expected to play sports such as Football and Rugby, and boys will be expected to take part in Dance and Gymnastics. We believe that this enhances students PE experience and moves away from specific genders playing only certain sports.

Through PE & Sport our students learn to develop the important qualities of discipline, resilience, communication, team work, and ambition, leading to improved concentration, attitude, and academic achievement.
