PE Department Vision

Christ’s School to be recognised as one of the leading state schools in the country with an outstanding reputation for its sporting provision, achievements and academic attainment.

Physical Education and sport play an integral role in the life of the students at Christ’s School. Christ’s School has five teaching staff within the Physical Education department. The facilities include a full size sports hall with a comprehensive range of gymnastics and indoor sports equipment. The school also has 4 hard tennis/netball courts, a full size football and rugby pitch, a state of the art dance suite, a table tennis studio, as well as an outdoor summer athletics track (400m) and long jump pit. We also have an indoor traversing climbing wall and a 10m outdoor climbing wall. We have a close relationship with Richmond Cricket Club where we have onsite access to 5 wicket cricket wicket, outfield and multi lane batting nets.

Christ’s School places a huge emphasis on extracurricular sport; in terms of recreational participation and competitive fixtures. We compete at a local, regional and national level in a multitude of sports. Just recently we won the U16 Dynamik National Schools Basketball Competition for the third consecutive year.

We are ranked in the top 100 state schools in the country for sport at number 52 by School Sport Magazine. This places Christ’s in the top 1.8% of schools for Sport in the country. We have been awarded the Sport England Sportsmark Gold Award three years running due to the range of our extra-curricular clubs we offer students and our participation rates at these clubs.

As well as offering our students the opportunity to participate in traditional sports such as Football, Rugby, Netball etc, we also offer students the opportunity to participate in Rowing, Trampolining, Table Tennis, Dance, Judo, Boxing, Triathlon and Sports Leadership.

Results within the department at GCSE PE and A Level PE are consistently outstanding. We consistently achieve ALPS 2/3 at both Key Stage 4 and 5 PE which places the department in the top 10% of results of the country.
