Physical Education
Our aim is to provide every pupil with the opportunity to be the best that they can be physically, socially, mentally, morally, spiritually and culturally. We encourage all our pupils to be switched on to sport and recognise the benefits that regular exercise can bring.
The department offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities including clubs taken by outside coaches. There are 9 main winter activities, in summer there are 5.
We are currently working to develop links with organisation outside the school to further promote a fit and healthy lifestyle inside and outside of the school.
