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, with the aim to compete against other schools in Borough competitions. These include netball, football, basketball, trampolining, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, athletics, tennis, rounders and cricket. All of our clubs are free and inclusive for all. We do work with a Martial Arts school which runs a 12 week programme at a cost for students.
Key Stage 4 & 5 / Career Progression:
Physical Education is one of the GCSE option subjects here at Bentley Wood. Those students who wish to select GCSE PE must continually compete in that sport. This can be at school or outside of school. Students who select GCSE PE will have an additional 3 lessons a week and this includes theory lessons, not just practical lessons.
