Physical Education

The PE department aims to develop a lifelong love of sport, and to teach our students the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Our department has outstanding facilities that help to develop skills in a wide range of sports. Building on this, our students have the opportunity to experience competitive sports, both within school, and against other schools in the area. Over the years we have developed extensive links to a range of local sports clubs and associations to ensure our students have a clear pathway to help develop and nurture their talent.

The PE curriculum is organised in to stages that build from developing skills within lessons, to competing against other schools in the local area. Throughout each year, there are opportunities for both inter house and inter school competition. Below is a brief description of each of the stages.

The department takes a lead role in delivering level two competitions as part of the wider Tameside School Sports Partnership Competition strategy both at secondary and primary. Our Primary and Secondary competition schedule can be found on the school website.
