Physical Education
Studying and following a varied an inspirational PE diet can help enhance knowledge and strengthen and develop wider learning. PE is not only a valuable school subject but also an essential healthy lifestyle choice.
The PE department has an experienced and highly knowledgeable group of teachers who are passionate about their subject and offering opportunities to all students. Lessons are challenging, and we push the students to be the best they can in a wide variety of activities. Our aim is for students to enjoy sport and continue to take part in physical activity for the rest of their lives.
Communication and teamwork is at the heart of all the skills we teach and this is developed as students progress through the years. PE increases levels of independence, confidence and good health.
At Key Stage 5, we follow The Cambridge Technicals in Sport and Physical Activity. This has been developed to meet the changing needs of the sector and prepare students for the challenges they’ll face in university or employment. The Cambridge Technicals in Sport and Physical Activity focus on the knowledge, understanding and skills that today’s universities and employers demand. Students will practically apply their knowledge and skills in preparation for further study or the workplace. Students will study 3 mandatory units: Body systems and the effects of physical activity, Sports coaching and activity leadership and Sports organisation and development. Students will also study 2 optional units, some of these could include Organisation of Sports event, Practical skills in Sport and Physical activities, Sports injuries and rehabilitation, improving fitness for sport and physical activity and Biomechanics and movement analysis.
