Department Aims
Our Physical Education team is committed to delivering high-quality curriculum activities, inclusive physical recreation competitions, sporting house activities and vertical year leagues throughout the year. We pride ourselves on providing as many opportunities for students to get involved in physical activity which can contribute to reduce obesity, improve fitness levels, concentration and self-esteem. This distinct symbiotic relationship with school work can help raise standards throughout other lessons and in their personal and social well being in School life in general.

By providing high quality Physical Education we develop young people to become leaders, officials, independent learners who enjoy physical activity and sport and make it a central part of their lives – both in and out of school.
