Physical Education is taught to pupils in lessons from Year 5 to Year 9, following a diverse curriculum that offers pupils the opportunity to foster a lifetime enjoyment of physical activity as well as develop an understanding of a healthy lifestyle.

Physical Education plays an important part of a pupil’s development from child to adult.  We ensure that all pupils are given opportunities to develop to their full physical potential while growing in confidence and self-esteem, appreciating their own and others’ strengths and weaknesses.

We also look to enhance pupils’ confidence through achievement, both practical and theoretical, and their ability to analyse their peers’ techniques as well as being able to reproduce them.  Pupils have a vast number of opportunities to lead as a coach and an official, developing their all-round sporting knowledge as well as delivering a personalised coaching session.

Pupils undertake a carousel of activities, which supports the school’s main competitive sports of football, rugby, cricket and athletics (boys), and netball, hockey, cricket and athletics (girls).  This involves swimming at Teddington Pool for Years 5 to 7, athletics at St Mary’s University as well as health-related education, invasion games, dance and training in speed, agility and quickness of thought.
