Our young people leave with:
- A positive relationship with physical activity having experienced
- The skills and understanding to be confident in choosing : Further study, Lifelong recreation, Competitive
We aim to ensure that Physical Education is accessible to all students regardless of ability, by creating a learning environment where students feel comfortable. We create this learning environment by ensuring that lessons are engaging and that challenge and success builds resilience and self belief. We promote independent thinking, practical skills and teamwork. We actively encourage students to take their new knowledge/skills and enjoyment of physical activity outside of school through recreational or competitive sport.
