Physical Education

“Physical Education should inspire all students to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for our students to become more physically competent in ways which supports their health, fitness and wellbeing. Our curriculum offers all students the chance to compete in sport and other activities which build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect”.

Physical Education is an important part of the National Curriculum. Students will participate in two lessons of PE per week, one based indoors and the other outdoors. Therefore, it is essential you come to lessons equipped to learn.

Across the study students will be taught to:

• Explore and develop a variety of tactics and strategies to overcome opponents in team and individual games.
