Physical Education

Physical Education is a foundation subject in the National Curriculum and all students are required to participate fully in the activities scheduled. Physical Education is a most important subject in the development of the whole person, and by participating in PE each student has the opportunity to develop a wide range of personal qualities.

Students are encouraged to take part in activities which require thought, effort, observation, evaluation and a high level of personal experience of movement. They will be given the opportunity to gain a sense of satisfaction and achievement by working long enough and hard enough to overcome the challenges presented by the practical work.

Key Stage 3 Students have two, one hour lessons a week and participate in the following areas during years 7, 8 & 9: games, gymnastics, dance, athletics and swimming.

Key Stage 4 Students have one hour lesson a week and are required to develop their standard of performance in at least two activities studied at Key Stage 3. Students are also given the opportunity to experience activities that are not taught at KS3, e.g. tennis, and all students are made aware of the benefits of relaxation techniques.

Students leaving college should have a sound knowledge and understanding of what is required to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

Extra-Curricular Activities
 A wide range of extra-curricular activities are offered during the year enabling all students to further their participation in PE. Some activities lead to proficiency awards, some lead to college teams and all are for personal enjoyment and achievement. Inter school matches are organised and all students have the opportunity to be considered for the college teams. Students also have the opportunity to take part in competition organised within the College.
