Physical Education

What will you learn?

Enjoyment of physical activity and sport stems from curriculum lessons, during which every girl is challenged in a broad range of activities to improve her skills and develop her understanding. Our contemporary Physical Education curriculum also promotes positive attitudes towards an active and healthy lifestyle and lays the foundations for the development of an interest in sport and physical activity after school.

The link between active, knowledgeable performers and examination success is recognised and supported through our extensive programme of curricular and extra-curricular activities.

In addition to the core curriculum, girls have the opportunity to study GCSE PE and / or the Sports Leaders Awards and Netball Youth Umpires Award.

Greater choice is available in Years 10 and 11, providing the girls with the opportunity to try new activities and focus on their preferred areas.

Below are examples of core Physical Education activities:
