Subject Information

Physical Education is an important part of our school curriculum.  As a school we value Physical Education for the part it plays in physical, social and mental well-being.  We want our pupils to experience a wide range of activities and sports and in turn we want pupils to develop a love of physical activity and see this as something they will want to continue to do once they have left school because it contributes to their overall well-being.  We aim to educate our pupils of the benefits of regular exercise and also develop their skills in areas such as team work, co-operation and resilience.  As our pupils move from Key Stage 3 into Key Stage 4 we introduce a greater element of choice and focus on introducing pupils to activities that encourage an active lifestyle and positive well-being.  In addition to core Physical Education in Years 7-11 pupils can also opt to study GCSE Physical Education and/or Cambridge National Sport Science, GCSE Dance in Years 10 and 11 and

A level PE.

We offer an extensive extra-curricular programme both at lunch time and after school giving pupils the opportunity to try a range of different activities and sports.  We also run a number of school teams and these will compete in Sefton, County and National competitions.

• House Sport – We run an inter house sports competition three times a year and also a Sports Day which all pupils are encouraged to participate in.
• PE Kit – We pride ourselves on how our pupils look and for this reason pupils should always wear the correct school PE kit.  Please see the PE kit list for the kit needed for each activity.
• Pupils unable to take part in their PE lesson must always bring a note and whenever possible will take on a different role where they are still involved in the lesson.
