Lower School Physical Education consists of a broad and balanced programme, which includes dance, gymnastics, health related exercise, athletics, along with a variety of team games. Within the programme students improve their skills, learn how to adapt and apply skills to different activities, gain the ability to evaluate and improve performances, understand about health and fitness as well as developing their tactics & composition ideas.

In Years 10 and 11, the emphasis is placed on physical activity and students adopting responsibilities within a sporting setting. This equips them with the skills and confidence to lead active and healthy lifestyles after they leave school. Students actively take on the role as fitness coaches, tacticians, skills coaches, officials and organisers in a number of games, fitness and athletics activities. Activities such as Tchoukball, swimming, golf, world games and cheerleading are introduced to maintain motivation levels and interest. There is also the opportunity to obtain the Junior Sports Leaders Award and to follow one of the highly popular courses such as GCSE Physical Education, Short Course GCSE Physical Education or BTec Sport.

The department runs a successful A/S and A level Physical Education course, which involves theoretical aspects from Anatomy and Physiology, Psychology, Historical and Practical sport. We also run the CSLA leadership course for Year 12s.

The Department's extra-curricular programme at lunchtime, after school and weekends is extensive and includes recreational clubs and activities as well as competitive sports.  These are extremely well attended at all ages and operate very successfully with support from parents, students and staff.
