Physical Education remains a compulsory part of the National Curriculum.

In the 1 hour a week of Core Physical Education lessons, students will have the opportunity to continue to develop their skills and understanding across a wide range of sports they have experienced at KS3. Such sports include Football, Basketball, Netball, Badminton and Trampolining. They will also understand how to gain a greater understanding of how to maintain and improve their own level of fitness through new activities.

Students within this core programme will develop not only physical skills but also have an opportunity to develop their coaching and leadership skills.

Physical Education encourages physically active for all students by providing planned and balanced programming to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes for physically active and healthy lifestyles.

Core PE is not examined.
