Why Study Physical Education?
​
Physical Education enables pupils to learn through movement so they can develop, extend and refine their skills in a range of movement contexts. The Physical Education Department aims to promote healthy lifestyles in pupils. Active, enjoyable and challenging Physical Education learning experiences encourage pupils to develop:
​
-
positive attitudes to and enjoyment of physical activity;
-
an awareness of the positive impact of physical activity on health and well-being; and
-
positive sporting behaviour and a sense of fair play.
