The College is continually proud of the individual and team successes achieved throughout the school year.... these are detailed in the department's weekly report in the Head of School's newsletter - A View from the Bridge.

All of the students at the College have access to a high standard of learning environments, including; the Sports Hall, MUGA (all weather pitch), in-department gym, teaching rooms, dance area. The diversity of the options available to students allows for all learners to be successful and confident in their chosen sport, which in turn helps to encourage a healthy lifestyle and responsibility for their own wellbeing and that of others.

The teachers within the department aim to promote the benefits of an active lifestyle with many extra curricular activities and participation in County team competitions.

Health & Safety in Physical Education:

Valuables - Students must not leave valuables in the changing rooms. Students should hand in valuables to the PE office before the start of the lesson; they will be locked away safely for them.

Watches/jewellery/ear studs - All jewellery must be removed before registering for the lesson as these items pose a potential hazard not only to the wearer but also to other students.

Hair - Must be tied back.

Asthma Sufferers - Inhalers should be taken to lessons.

Injury or excuse notes - Requests to be excused from full participation in a PE lesson should be signed by a parent/carer. If students are excused from participating in PE they will still be involved in lessons as substantial learning can still take place. Therefore, students must always change into their PE kit and bring appropriate additional clothing (such as a tracksuit/waterproof)
