PE

Physical Education is an integral part of our students’ education.

Through a well designed and varied curriculum, students will gain skills across a wide selection of sports as well as improve their social and leadership skills. Here at THS, we are big on promoting the wider benefits of sport physical activity and look at how you can improve you physical, social and mental well-being.

In KS3, students are taught and encouraged to:

• Use a range of tactics and strategies, in individual and team sports, to outwit opponents
• Develop their skills and techniques across a wide range of sport
• Improve teamwork and leadership skills through various roles within a PE lesson
• Improve components of fitness
• Participate in extra-curricular programme and put their skills to the test on competitive fixtures

In KS4, we offer two differing exam courses (GCSE PE and Sport Studies). Gaining a qualification in these can lead to careers in all aspects of sport, from leadership and coaching to performance analysis. It is essential to study one of these two options if you wish to study sport in Further Education.
