Sports & Leisure

"To develop the capacity for creative thinking to enrich practical performances and develop the ability to innovate and apply skills effectively."
Our Sports Faculty Curriculum aims to develop our students’ competence to excel in a wide range of physical activities whilst enhancing their health and well-being to encourage them to sustain a healthy active lifestyle. We continually strive for excellence and aim to expose students to as much physical activity as possible.
As part of our core curriculum we develop all students’ leadership potential as a nationally designated Leadership Academy. Additionally, we aspire to enhance the students’ employability skills: developing their communication skills; team work and creativity whilst embedding competition and the School Games standards to enhance engagement and participation for all students.
Our specialist Sports Academies Programme and Leadership Academy promotes and develops young leaders, coaches and volunteers. We are proud of our young leaders and encourage them to work actively within our local community.
