Now that the students are very much individuals and have determined their preferred pathway, &, within that, their preferred sports we want to give them ownership of their activities as they would have when they leave school. Consequently, we allow the students to determine their chosen sport/activity with the most commonly picked being available that equates to the number of staff and facilities.

Below are the curriculum overviews for the sport or activity – should they chose it. The activity blocks are half-termly; at the end of that time the students opt again. They can choose to stay with the same activity or opt for a different one – just like they would away from school. There are competitive matches outside of curriculum time for year 11 & within or without curriculum time for the 6^th formers dependent upon the activity being undertaken.

Year 12 & 13 are not obliged to participate in Physical Education per se but we see it as an opportunity to continue and develop their mind set of a healthy and active lifestyle to help with their mental, social and physical well-being. As such we offer the facilities and supervision with the 6th formers very much dictating how competitive or social they wish their activity to be. We offer intra & inter-school competition for those who wish it, and, a more social game or environment for those that wish to follow that route. So long as they are physically active and enjoying the hour to promote the many health benefits published we are happy with that. If they wish to complete a sport that they haven’t had an opportunity to do previously i.e. Handball, we’ll try and accommodate that.
