Our curriculum across Key Stages 3 and 4 provides students with the opportunity to develop physical competence, tactical awareness, and leadership skills across a broad range of activities. At Key Stage 5, students can further their interest in sport through examination courses that explore the scientific, psychological, and social aspects of physical performance.

Sport plays an important role in the wider life of the school, and the department delivers a strong extra-curricular programme with numerous clubs, teams, and competitive fixtures throughout the year.
