Physical Education

Year 9 Physical Education introduces learners to a range of physical and interpersonal skills that will be essential for not only higher levels of Physical Education and Outdoor Education but for all group processes and learning environments. Our focus is on developing learners holistically rather than solely emphasising physical competence.

In year 9, students will have two lessons of PE a week. One lesson is a core PE class where they will have the same teacher in their set class for the year. The other lesson will rotate through three module units across the course of the year. These modules are swimming, fitness and gymnastics.
