Physical Education is compulsory for all students in Years 10 and 11. Each pupil will participate in one hour of ‘core’ PE a week, where there is an emphasis is on getting everyone active and involved in a selection of engaging sports or activities.
All students experience a one hour lesson of ‘core’ Physical Education, per week. Students get to choose which activity they wish to pursue for each half term, from a choice of 3 different activities.
If some groups are oversubscribed, students may not get their first choice of activity.
Students will be allowed to opt for the same activity more than once during the year.
