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 6th formers dependent upon the activity being undertaken.
