We have developed our PE vision in line with the Academy vision and the aims of the National curriculum so that we can develop competent athletes to excel in a broad range of physical activities. Our students are physically active for sustained periods and understand the importance of physical activity. We were mindful that our learners also need to engage in competitive sports and activities that lead to healthy and active lives. Additionally, we want to enhance and develop leadership skills through the years to build confidence, resilience, initiative and the ability to motivate others. 

Lessons allow us the cover a range of strands to develop the learners, an example of these is: that we develop a range of tactics and strategies through competition e.g. games and individual sports, alongside this we develop technique, physical confidence, leadership skills and the ability to analyse performance.   

The course in Key Stage 5 follows the skills developed in both BTEC Level 2 and the GCSE course. We teach the BTEC level 3 sport we offer the foundation diploma (1.5 A levels). The course deepens the learning. There are 2 exams, 1 compulsory coursework unit and 4 optional units. The optional units we pick we feel are the correct ones to extend and develop the learning which enables the learners to develop their skills for employability.
