PE 

The PE department offers a diverse, ambitious and inclusive curriculum that inspires our girls to enjoy being active, build confidence and develop a lifelong positive relationship with physical activity. We promote participation, challenge and personal best, helping pupils to develop physical competence alongside wider life skills such as resilience, teamwork, leadership and self-belief. Our intent is that every student leaves school with the knowledge and motivation to lead a healthy, active lifestyle and the confidence to take part in sport and physical activity beyond school. 

At Key Stage 3, pupils build on prior learning by developing strong foundations in fitness, movement and skill. They become more confident and increasingly accurate in core techniques and learn how to apply them across a wide range of activities ensuring pupils experience breadth, creativity and challenge. Through team and individual contexts, pupils explore tactics and decision-making, learn to analyse performance, and understand how practice, feedback and perseverance lead to improvement.  

At Key Stage 4, all pupils continue with core PE to embed healthy habits, extend skill and fitness, and encourage sustained participation. Alongside core PE, students can choose vocational pathways and study Level 2 and Level 3 BTEC qualifications in sport, supporting progression into post-16 education, apprenticeships and careers within the sports and health sector. Students develop independence through applying knowledge to real-world contexts, including analysing performance, planning training and exploring routes into sport-related careers. 

Our enrichment offer is a key strength and gives pupils exciting opportunities to represent the school, build friendships and develop leadership. We offer a wide programme of clubs, teams and competitions, including netball, football, athletics, badminton, rounders, dance, tennis and fitness activities, alongside inter-form events. Educational visits and enhancement trips further broaden horizons, strengthen teamwork and inspire a lasting zest for life through sport.
