Our vision  

As a department, we aim for inclusivity. Our curriculum, vision and ethos offer all students the opportunity to learn new skills, develop existing skills, transfer knowledge and skills across sports as well as develop their personal skills through leadership, communication and teamwork.  

Students are assessed in KS3 as a coach, a analyst and a performer. Each sport we cover assessed students in one of these key areas with their end-of-year assessment being average on all through across the academic year. This assessment process allows all students the ability to achieve in physical education.  

All students across the school are given the same sports listed below. In KS3 the focus alongside our assessment policy is skill acquisition, knowledge of rules and regulations and communication and teamwork.  

In KS4 our focus shifts and learning becomes more about installing the knowledge, skills and motivation to continue leading a healthy and active lifestyle post 16.
