Welcome to PE!

Our main love of PE is that it will teach all 5 of the school’s 5rs every lesson. Resilience, Resourcefulness, Responsibility, Reflection and Reasoning. You will need all these to work with others and solve tactical problems and fitness challenges every lesson.

Above all we want you to have fun, try new things and work hard. Whatever your level.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”

Google Classroom

We have set up a Google Classroom for PE.You can find videos and tasks which can keep you busy until you join us in September!

You need to copy and paste the code as it is case sensitive. If you would prefer to look at the tasks without using Google you can access some of them below.

The PE Curriculum

You will have 100 minutes of PE per week. This is the same as a double lesson. We much prefer this as it gives us lots of time to deliver activities in depth and have plenty of game time at the end of each session.

In Key stage four you will get 100 minutes of core PE and then another 5 lessons of 50 minutes on top which will be in a classroom and practical activities.
