PE

In PE, pupils will take part in a variety of different sports and activities including: Athletics, Cross Country, Cricket, Badminton, Basketball, Football, Fitness, Gymnastics, Handball, Netball, Rugby, Rounders, Table Tennis, Tennis, Volleyball (enrichment clubs in these sports will also take place after school)

Pupils will develop a range of skills and techniques in the above sports and develop a range of tactics and strategies to outwit opponents. Pupils will also understand the importance of physical activity on a persons physical and mental health. Finally, students will analyse their own and their peers performances using both self and peer assessment in order to improve their overall performance.
