Physical Education

The philosophy of the Physical Education Department is that every pupil should be given the opportunity and encouragement to achieve their potential in a stimulating, informative and safe environment.

“Sport for All and Excellence”

We believe that every pupil should be given the opportunity to achieve their potential and pupils of all abilities are encouraged to achieve the best they possibly can. By this rationale, the department believes that Sport for All and Elite sporting performance can flourish side by side.

Key Stage 3 lessons are taught in mixed ability, single gender groups. Differentiation within the lesson ensures that all pupils’ abilities are catered for thus creating a challenging and stimulating environment.

Key Stage 4 lessons are taught in ability graded groups. This ensures that pupils work with peers of a similar ability, which creates a positive environment of skill development and performance.

Physical Education is offered at both GCSE and A Level through the EDEXCEL examination board.
