Physical Education
Physical Education is an interesting and varied course made up of both practical and theoretical elements. This is a pre-course introduction to GCSE. Some people will see Physical Education as playing ‘lots’ of sport and as a ‘soft’ option but this is not the case! If you have a passion for sport, and are involved in clubs in and out of school, then this is the subject for you. You will have three lessons over a fortnight and is an optional complement to Games lessons. As part of the Options Choices in Year 9, you will have five lessons per fortnight.
