Physical Education & Swimming

We believe that Physical Education and Sport are essential for the development of the whole child.

Our outstanding PE Department provides a wide range of opportunities for pupils of all abilities to participate in physical activity and to develop their sporting skills.

After-School Activities and Inclusive Approach

Our PE curriculum is based on the National Curriculum for England, but we also offer a number of unique and innovative programmes, such as our swimming programme, which is in partnership with High Performance Sports Club. 

In addition to our curriculum lessons, we also offer a wide range of after-school activities and clubs, so that pupils can continue to pursue their sporting interests outside of the classroom.

 

We are committed to providing our pupils with the best possible sporting experience. Our PE staff are highly qualified and experienced and one even represents to UAE for rugby. We are also proud of our inclusive approach to sport, and we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate and enjoy physical activity.
