Physical Education

In addition to P.K.M learning in lessons, our vision  outside of school hours is to provide a variety of opportunities for all pupils across a plethora of sports and activities. Utilising the local community to maximise what we are able to offer. We pride ourselves on the balance of alternative vs traditional sports, with our teams achieving results in the local area, across the county and nationally. 


Pupils can further explore their physical performance, knowledge and understanding and a mindset by attending one of our many after school clubs and activities. We produce termly timetables which we share with parents. All the required info is included for pupils to attend, join in and develop an interest in physical activity for lifelong learning.
