There are Borough and League competitions in netball, football, trampolining, gymnastics, athletics and tennis. There are also inter-house competitions, which run throughout the year in cross-country, netball, and dance to enable all students to take part in competitive sport.
Co-curricular activities:
The PE department run sports clubs every lunchtime and after school for students to take part in. These include netball, football, basketball, trampolining, fitness, handball, athletics, tennis, rounders, and cricket. All of our clubs are free and inclusive for all.
Key Stage 4 & 5 / Career Progression:
Physical Education continues at GCSE as it is important students remain active as this will help them both physically and mentally with the rest of their academic studies.
Those students who wish to continue Physical Education as a GCSE will have an additional three lessons per week where they will study a combination of additional theory and practical skills. Should your daughter choose GCSE PE as one of her options, she will have the opportunity to continue to represent the school in regular fixtures, as well as the London Youth Games. She will also attend a trip to the fascinating Body Worlds exhibition in Piccadilly as part of her course.
