All pupils have one lesson of Games per week. The wide variety of activities available should give every pupil an opportunity to find a sport that they enjoy and help to promote a healthy lifestyle. The work for these activities will be covered in half term blocks.
All pupils are required to participate, in full PE kit and in every lesson to maximise their chances of success.
PSHE
In Key Stage 4 all pupils continue to follow a programme building on the knowledge, skills and values developed in Key Stage 3 to educate the 'whole child'. It aims to enrich the individual's personal and social development, which is nurtured through the curriculum and supported by the pastoral system.
The programme aims to help pupils with the demands of being a teenager, and to prepare them for the responsibilities of adult life. We are now able to provide specialist teaching in Key Stage 4, and to develop the programme to include modules on the topics included in the Healthy Schools Programme, which are:
Careers Education
Drug Education
Sex & Relationships Education
Emotional Health & Well-being
Safety Education
