We believe Physical Education installs the understanding of the impact that physical activity has on your body and how it supports a healthy lifestyle.
Our curriculum encourages students to develop the intrinsic motivation to remain physically literate beyond their school years. We provide an inclusive environment that creates physically educated students; through Physical Education, students will participate in a variety of sporting activities on a rotational basis, where they will improve and embed their motor competence whilst exploring key concepts in physical activity and sport. Alongside this, they will develop their knowledge and understanding of the rules, strategies and officials in games, and understand what it means to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In Key Stage Core Physical Education, from Years 7-11, students will participate in the following sports on a rotational basis.
