PROMOTING HEALTHY SPORTMANSHIP

Senior School Sports

Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and Saturday morning fixtures offer an opportunity to take part in competitive leagues and matches against local schools. The collaborative element of team games is highly valued and students are encouraged to participate in House sporting events too. A variety of team and individual sports are offered such as football, rugby, hockey, netball, tennis, gymnastics, swimming, athletics, circuits and fitness training and pilates. In addition, work on nutrition, lifestyle and exercise physiology takes place in the A2B (Aspire to Be) Programme.

 

GCSE & A-LEVELS

Many students choose GCSE Physical Education as an option. This includes theory work, in which fascinating subjects are studied, such as how female athletes are portrayed in the media. Students also learn about training and are given the opportunity to experience a wide variety of methods that they can implement into their own programmes to improve their performance in their chosen sports.

At A level and BTEC the level of study is once again elevated to enable students to gain a deep understanding of theories unpinning elite sports performance, delivered through a range of theory, practical and field trips to ensure pupils have the very best chance of examination success.
