Physical Education

Vision

Getting students active is at the beating heart of the PE curriculum. Students develop their physical ability, gain knowledge and demonstrate emotional resilience through an ambitious, diverse and extensive curriculum; across all year groups. We empower our young women to be strong and confident: physically, socially and mentally. Students actively use a range of employability skills through positive life enriching experiences within lessons and through our school sports and physical activity opportunities.

Curriculum


Additional

All students have two hours of PE each week.

All KS3 students complete a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Cadets course as part of the OAA curriculum. This will give them an insight into the Bronze Award they are all entered for in Year 10 PE. Completing volunteering, physical and skill hours in their own time through Year 7-9 will contribute to certification of the course at Year 9 Graduations. We also offer the GCSE PE course as an alternative to the Cambridge National qualification, should this be a more apt course for the examination cohort/class. All Year 9 students are given ‘KS4 taster sessions’, supporting them to make the right option choices for themselves.
