What do we offer???

Each child is entitled to two hours of PE a week through what we call core PE. On top of this the following courses are on offer.

·        G.C.S.E PE- This is a popular course consisting of both a practical assessment and an examination. Last year, PE had a fantastic achievement when we achieved the highest G.C.S.E. results in the school. A magnificent 81% A-C. This is a standard which we now endeavour to uphold.

·        B-TEC SPORT- This is a coursework based course consisting of three units. There is no examination in B-TEC SPORT, but again there is some practical assessment.

·        Living for Sport- Living for sport takes a focal point for our KS3 students. It allows pupils to see other aspects of PE through something other than what the normal curriculum offers.

·        Year 8 Lakeside Trip- For one whole day Year 8 pupils are thrown into the world of outdoor and adventurous activities. Staff and pupils combine as they participate in numerous activities including canoeing, sailing, rock climbing and team building. A real treat.

·        Sports Day- The highlight of the year.
