Our aim is to enable all young people, whatever their ability, to take part in and enjoy PE and sport. We will provide the opportunity for all pupils to improve and achieve in line with their age and potential. The promotion of health, safety and well being will be at the core of our philosophy.
The P.E Department consists of;
A large sports hall.
A gym.
A fitness suite and weight training room.
Indoor rowing machines, fully set up for class competitions.
2 tarmac outdoor playing surfaces and access to Lenny Barn fields.
Whether it be indoor or outdoor, each one of these areas can be altered to suit the activity that your child will be taking part in through both fixed and portable equipment.

KEY STAGE 3

Our aim is to provide every child the opportunity to partake in a broader range of sports, teaching them the rules and techniques of each sport as we go along. We actively encourage pupils to participate in extra curricular activities, to ensure they are getting the best possible start to their sporting life. Aside from the practical side, we also teach several theory lessons to help your child understand how the body works within sport. The theory lessons also include information on nutrition and planning and analysing work.

KEY STAGE 4

Students have the option to select GCSE P.E or BTEC Diploma in Sport. In GCSE P.E pupils have the chance to be assessed in four of their strongest activities with a written theoretical exam at the end of the course. GCSE P.E is 40% practical and 60% theory work. BTEC Diploma in Sport has no written exam and students have to provide evidence by completing assignments on seven different units. There is no set percentage of practical for the BTEC Diploma in Sport, but staff will always try to incorporate practical lessons when possible.

HOMEWORK

Due to the physical nature of our curriculum, we very rarely set written homework for our lessons. We may, however, set fitness plans and other sport based activities, as well as analysis of work done in previous lessons. BTEC students and GCSE students will be assigned homework on a weekly basis.

EXTRACURRICULAR PROVISION

The P.E department offer a range of extra curricular activities including; Football, Rounders, Netball, Basketball, Volleyball, Trampolining, Athletics, Cross Country and Cricket. We regularly compete with other schools within the borough, and are this year going to be celebrating the London 2012 Olympics with an event at Sports City in Manchester.
