Our Physical Education curriculum aims to foster a lifelong love of physical activity, develop confident and capable young people, and give every pupil the opportunity to experience the benefits of being active. Through a broad range of activities, pupils develop their physical literacy alongside important personal and social skills such as teamwork, communication, resilience, leadership and self-confidence.
Key Stage 3
Focuses on building fundamental physical literacy and applying skills with increasing fluency, tactical awareness, and strategy across team and individual sports (including Netball, Football, Athletics, Basketball, and Dance). Pupils progress from basic coordination and team cohesion in Year 7, to competitive decision-making in Year 8, and refined techniques, choreography, and performance self-confidence in Year 9.
Key Stage 4
Shifts toward student leadership, sport education, and long-term wellbeing. Year 10 pupils take on organisational, coaching, and event roles (such as leading Sports Day), while Year 11 emphasises ownership of physical and mental health to foster lifelong active habits.

Key Stage 5
Provides a balanced break from academic studies to support overall wellbeing. Students collaborate through team sports and take on increased responsibility by planning and delivering PE lessons to their peers to build high-level communication and organisational skills. Sixth formers are also welcome to use the Multi-gym in their free periods once they have attended a full induction.
