Mission Statement:
As a department our aim is to support and compliment the whole school ethos. We believe Physical Education is central to every student’s physical, social and emotional well being. By offering a broad and balanced curriculum we aim to encourage active participation of every pupil in a learning environment which allows them to reach their full potential. Central to our philosophy is that pupils take an active role in every lesson either as a player, coach or official and they are aware of the benefits to health and well being. |
