Physical Education

In the Physical Education Department we aim to develop positive attitudes towards physical activity, students are asked to respond to a variety of challenges, set targets for themselves and compete individually, against others and as a team.

Through this process they develop feelings of self-esteem, well being and confidence. This allows them to understand what it takes to succeed by developing an "always do your best" attitude, and to learn how to correctly acknowledge other's success. Thus giving the students the information to make safe and informed decisions about the importance of exercise to a healthy lifestyle.

As a department we believe our extra-curricular provision is second to none. We pride ourselves on the amount of time given to the students and on the breadth and standard of students' achievement at all levels.

All staff within the department are committed to this process because we believe its value can not be overstated. Whether students participate for competition, for fun, for fitness, or use the activities as a pastime, we believe our present programme offers students the opportunity to contribute to the ethos of the school and gives them genuine links to clubs and the community for a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
