Key Stage 3

All students in Years 7, 8 and 9 receive 2 hours of PE per week. There are 2 single lessons lasting 1 hour each. During this time, a variety of activities are undertaken including Gymnastics, Core Skills, Hockey, Association Football, Netball, Rugby, Volleyball, Badminton, Basketball, Orienteering and Health Related Fitness in the winter months. Summer term activities include Athletics, Rounders, Softball, Tennis and Cricket. These activities are taught throughout Key Stage 3.

 The PE faculty recognises that every student has their own individual needs and will adapt the groups and lessons to ensure that every student has a positive experience, in a supportive and challenging environment.

 At Key Stage 3 we believe it is far too early in a student's development to pigeon hole them into certain sporting activities. Instead we give every student the same opportunities in lessons to participate in a wide range of sporting activities and experiences whatever their ability level. During this stage, students are taught knowledge, skills and understanding through a number of areas of activity
